I have had difficulty to try and spare time for doing some of the History research, Unfortunately it wasn&#8217;t the farm work that was creating the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However there has been some changes, not planned admittedly, but it does mean that I can now free some capacity and some time for doing what I enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having now had some time I have finally manged to get back to the Website and the linked email and found that for the last month there has been a problem, particularly with the Emails,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"828\" src=\"https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-3-1024x828.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-3-1024x828.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-3-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-3-768x621.jpg 768w, https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-3-1536x1241.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve finally managed to get back into the emails and get them updated, cleared the junk and spam.  Hopefully that now has me back to having a clear set of Comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Holt tractor post is becoming more complicated with lots of twists and turns and a need for lots of cross referencing and checking &#8211; the reason being is that there is some very dubious information that has been posted to blur the history, which in itself is really interesting to follow and work through but it takes time, and takes you down a few rabbit holes which are important to follow through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve also go a Royal Engineers History Society Webinar talk at the start of July on Sappers and Cavalry Gap Crossing in 1916, so that is the focus.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/91460-file-743x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/91460-file-743x1024.jpg 743w, https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/91460-file-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/horsebacksapper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/91460-file.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Marking a Cavalry Lane across the battlefield.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve also realised that I need to get back involved in Living History Events, particularly Great War, as that is something that I realise that I have been missing.
