[Editor's Note: This index lists the diary entry date on which particular topics were mentioned in the Photographer's Diary. Someday I may provide direct links from these dates; until then, you will need to use it with the THREE parts of the Diary itself: Part 1 (14 October 1943 - 18 May 1944), Part 2 (18 May 1944 - 30 December 1944), Part 3 (1 January 1945 - 15 August 1945). Links to those pages appear above. I believe this index was created by Glenn McWilliams when he transcribed the diaries.—LD]
