The grandson and great-grandson of the English soldier George Green are tweeting his diaries, which cover his experience of the war. Here is the background info:

So, we have an incredibly detailed set of documents that cover my granddad right through his life. This covers all his WW1 activity. My dad and his dad have spent a long time researching document from archives and visiting museums etc. and we have a complete account of his journey through WW1 until he was killed.

Today’s entry: “Met Brown today,we fought the Boers,glad to see him again,start route marches tomorrow,corporal say we gone soft and need to toughen up”

Oh, by the way, I set up a twitter for Malebolge, a twit to end all twits, no doubt: @malebolge_wwi.
