The Diary of Dorothy Priest
August 4th
Germany has declared war on Belgium. England has sent an ultimatum to Germany to respect Belgian neutrality which expires at mid-night tonight. Mr XXXXXX says they will fight for some time. Things will only be settled now by war. I quite expect to see in the morning “Mail”, “War declared between Great Britain and Germany”. We must be very careful with food for fear of the country running short. The children are disgusted with me for talking so much about being careful but Daddy says we must. The Territorials were all about Cotteridge this afternoon.
