Wednesday 12 August 1914

Britain declared war on Austria Hungary today. There is a lot of talk of spys and a fear of invasion.

Their work now would have to concentrate on checking for radio equipment.

In East Anglia many Territorial Army motorcyclists and cyclists were setting up check points and guarding key buildings housing telegraphs.
