They mainly concern visits to the home by members of The Salvation Army and other dignitaries, inspections of the home and staff movements. Diary includes some mention of boys' activities including outings and Christmas parties. Outbreaks of illness are also noted, as is the boys' involvement in the local Salvation Army Corps as junior soldiers. All information is general. Names are mentioned on two occasions when the death of former residents is recorded.
