Donaldson was one of about 40 British employees of the British-owned Pacific Phosphate Company on Nauru when World War I broke out. Nauru was then a German colony. On 6 September 1914, the Germans deported the British employees to Ocean Island, part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Protectorate. On 3 November 1914, an Australian force under Colonel W. Holmes, arrived at Ocean Island in the company's ship Messina, reembarked the British employees and returned them to Nauru, which was placed under Australian military control.
The diary gives an account of these events and those preceding and following them.

William Mariner was ship's clerk aboard the British privateer and whaler, Port au Prince. Anchored off the Tongan island of Lifuka, in the Ha'apai group, the Port au Prince was seized by the high chief and future king of Tonga, Fīnau ’Ulukālala, on 1 December 1806. Most of the crew were killed in the takeover of the ship, but Fīnau spared Mariner and several colleagues. Fīnau assumed responsibility for Mariner, taking him under his protection and entrusting his care to one of his wives, Mafihape, who taught Mariner the customs, taboos, dress and language of her people. Mariner lived in Tonga until November 1810, predominantly in the northern island group of Vava’u. He wrote an account of his experiences in Tonga which is one of the major sources of information on pre-Christian Tonga.
A copy of a letter to William Mariner from his Tongan adoptive mother, Mafihape, probably written in 1832, and an English translation of it, transcribed on 6 March 1837 in longhand on the end papers of a copy of Mariner's and Martin's, An Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific Ocean, 2nd ed. (Edinburgh: Constable and Co., 1827). This copy of the book is inscribed by Mariner to his daughter, Margaret McCulloch, in 1849. The book is now in the possession of Denis McCulloch of Worcestershire, England.

In June 1973, as Professor of Human Geography in the Research School of Pacific Studies at the ANU, Gerry Ward wrote W. F. Straatmans, a field researcher in Papua New Guinea, instructing him to carry out interviews with Danny Leahy and Jack Fox who were amongst the first Europeans in the Highlands of New Guinea. Pim Straatmans had had long personal relationships with both interviewees.
The interviewees recall pre-War and War-time conditions and tell stories regarding transport, airstrip construction, native labour, gold digging methods, sing sings in the Highlands, Edie Creek, Maprik, Bena Bena, Wewak and Sepik regions, including Danny Leahy's account of rescuing nuns and priests from Catholic mission stations on the Sepik during the War. They remark on some of Danny Leahy's photographs, recalling the deaths of Fr Mauschhauser and Br Eugene in the Chimbu, contact with Fr Van Baar, Fr Ross and Fr Schaefer, and the rivalry between the Catholic and Lutheran missions. They comment on the kiaps Robert Melrose and Jim Taylor and on the hanging of Ludy Schmidt in Rabaul.
In the transcript of a further interview with Chris Ashton of the ABC, Jack Fox, who had been in New Guinea with the Australian occupation forces in 1914, recalls the expedition and German resistance.
Transcripts of Pim Straatmans' interview with Jack Fox and Danny Leahy, November 1973, and Chris Ahton's interview with Jack Fox, also in 1973, together with related papers and a photograph of Jack Fox. See Finding aids for details.
