Up until this point i have attempted where possible to present the documents available in chronological order. However, there is a gap in the information provided which leaves me with a decision to make.
Take what may prove to be a long period of time and research to examine this gap in information?
Or
Continue to record, examine and document the information i do hold and revisit this "gap" at a later stage (or as more information is found).
I feel one of the most important aims of this project is to ensure these documents are all recorded and made available for future generations. I am also of the opinion that examining the documents i do have, may provide further clues to fill in the gaps at a later stage.
With these points in mind i believe the best course of action for this blog moving forward is to continue examining the documents i do hold. Where required i will then jump back in the story providing further clarity as and when information surfaces.
I will of course dedicate some time in the background to researching this period and provide updates accordingly.
Last reference in the documents wished Edward good luck as he presumably left for war but as the map suggests, the next document chronologically speaking finds him in the Mediterranean theatre.
This as always presents many questions, which i will begin to examine next time.
