The Wilkins Diaries & Documents
Philip van Dueren has taken a lead role in the challenging task of deciphering Sir Hubert’s diary entries, as well as other documents (passports, postcards etc). It will be fascinating to see what he and other volunteers will uncover.
This page will be a home for the “decoded” documents – our historian Dr Stephen Carthew has noted before that Sir Hubert’s handwriting is “very far south of legible”!
