Diarists become historians when their lives are touched by momentous events, whether fleeing the Great Fire of London, or hiding in an attic from the Nazi's. My grandfather Harry Barrett Pratt was born in 1890 in the North East of England. He oiled the wheels of Sir Thomas Lipton's grocery empire throughout the turbulent first half of the 20th Century, broken only by military service during WW1, which took him to the lesser known theatre of war in East Africa. He was a workaholic, intent on providing for his family. From shop floor to Board of Directors, he was a company man. He had the ear and respect of Sir Thomas. His career span two world wars and the financial depression He kept a meticulous diary during those years, which gives a fascinating insight into the impact of global conflict on a nation.

The start of the First World War focused society's attention on the limits of the public food supply and the need for food conservation to support the war-effort. Housewives of all classes, even those with little or no agricultural experience, were called upon to start Victory Gardens. With this call came the question of how to preserve these garden products for use throughout the year. In response, the art of canning and preserving once again came into vogue. To aid housewives with no prior experience in this area, Mary Catherine Hughes published this 1918 work, which provides clear instructions and recipes for canning and preserving using the simplified cold-pack method.
