This site brings back to life the Diary of my great great great uncle, Sergeant William Jowett, an officer serving in the Crimean War. The Diary represents a unique insight into daily life during the war and is unusual as many people of his time and social status could neither read or write. If you have comments to make regarding the site or its subject, e-mail me. I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone connected with the Jowett or Bywater families of Beeston, Nottinghamshire - Sergeant Jowett's descendents. I would like to add that if anyone has emailed me in the last few months I have had problems with my email account and may not have received your email so if you have not had a response from me, it is probably because your email did not reach me. You can now use the corrected link above and I will endeavour to respond to all emails. Andy Bywater 15th September 2005
