My grandfather used a 1939 diary planner to record all the births of his children and deaths of his parents and my grandmother. I found that it has a London Tube Map so I thought I'll share it with you. It is incredible to me that this little book is almost 70 years old!
All my uncles and aunties who are still living were amazed at my grandfather's meticulous records and it enabled them to learn of both their Chinese and English birth dates. I was shown this diary when I was a teenager but I was surprised to learn that some of my uncles did not know of its existence until last Christmas!
