I hope that my E mail response to your question helps. Don't worry too much about the word count, as we have a lot of time to work on reducing it. (Include these E mails in your blog.)
ReplyDeleteHowever, remember that there isn't the space to give historical background. Just develop the argument and assume the marker is familiar with the background, OK?
I like the tables that you have found. Excellent priomary source material. I would suggest that you create your own tables using them, creating an additional column for either %ages or using a year as a base, that will make the changes of death rates more pronounced. Consider comparing the %age with the death rates on the War Front. It might bring out an interesting pattern.
What is your question?
