Thursday 15th June – Y5 complete first major research task.

Y5 reconvened today to complete the research task tracking down missing biographical information for our ‘folder of the fallen’.  Some new faces joined those trained up on Tuesday and through hard work, determination and no little perseverance, they completed the task.  We now have biographical information for all those men for whom the information still exists.  We are pretty confident that where gaps remain it is because the records no longer exist.  Well done to all involved.  You have truly worked ‘as historians’.  Y4 can now complete their task.  I estimate we have about 150 hours of data entry ahead of us!  That works out at about 45 minutes per ‘lad’.  Let’s get to work.
