From Linking experiences of World War One
Historian and palaeographer. I run Different Hand Ltd, doing manuscript transcription, XML markup, research assistance and related services. My PhD thesis and published work are on horses and cavalry in the English Civil War. I got into First World War research through tracing my great-grandad, who was in 1/5th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment. I was a moderator at Your Archives and used to blog at Investigations of a Dog.
To do list
- create/expand definition pages for types and specific types. Specific types still needed:
- add more tasks to How you can help:
- pals battalions
- division-corps relationships
- regimental museums and archives
- IWM Lives communities
- improve type definition pages
- British Territorial battalions needing further disambiguation:
- look into replacing {{RefLives}} with a more general template to represent a person, link to any canonical source for their identity, and possibly insert microformats
- make some notes on how to represent ships
- categories for events
