Like other scrapbooks in the series, Eleanor combines reflections on her own experiences of the war in typed diary entries, with military battles which she notes on small pieces of paper on the right-hand side of her volume. She illustrates her scrapbooks with postcards, photographs, newspaper clippings, illustrations, letters, and signatures of people she has met; letters, and ephemera.
