This is a Simple search on Archive for 1914-1918 - which gives 15000+ results. Don't worry that most of the 1st Page is French, have a scroll through or narrow down your search for specific items of interest archive.org/search.php?query=1914-1918%20AND%20mediatype%3Atexts&page=1I also use search terms such as - Great war Roll of Honour Regiment (Regiment name) etc. Somme/Passchendaele etc There are many others search terms that can be considered, and most books are available as a PDF download (Yes, I bought a 1TB external hard drive) There are war diaries, personal accounts and books published just after the war which are now impossible to get hold of. Here is a nice 10 volume set of - The war illustrated album de luxe; the story of the great European war told by camera, pen and pencil (1915) archive.org/search.php?query=The%20war%20illustrated%20album%20de%20luxeGlen

Tell me about it! - just try some different search terms for items of interest. Also many are available in different formats, so I have a few on my Kindle.
