I will try to post more pics of the journal tomorrow! Interesting stuff on those pages!

That journal is so awesome. Better than the grail diary Indiana Jones had because this this is the real deal.

That diary is both fascinating and hilarious! It really captures both the seriousness of war and the fact that he was just a typical young guy, very human.

Also found this on the web, sadly Rowbarts was not present cause he died in 1976.

Yes, indeed very fascinating to see all his stories but also I’m amazed by his drawing skills, so many details, such an artist!
