George Kennedy as a young man before emigrating to Australia in 1912.
As the centenary of the signing of the armistice to end the First World War approaches, the Argyllshire Advertiser is publishing a series of extracts from a wartime diary with a difference.
The diary belonged to blacksmith and engineer George Kennedy, who emigrated from Scotland to Australia in 1912, aged 31, with his wife and baby daughter. George, and many others, answered the call to return to Britain and did so in 1917 to help the war effort in the manufacture of munitions.
