Looking Into Sources
The Types of sources we plan to use
Generally when categorising sources that can be used there are two major types that are used; primary, secondary (tertiary, the third type simply being a consolidation of the other sources). For each form of research there are many other sub categories of how this source could be formed, as listed below. For this project it is important that we gather a range of secondary and primary resources, the secondary resources will meanly be gathered from the internet but the primary resources will be gathered mostly on our trip to Ypres since we will be visiting museums, grave yards and trenches where we can gather first hand information and take pictures of our own.

Why these sources are useful
When conducting research it is very important to utilise a range of different sources from different origins. This is why we plan to use multiple primary as well as secondary resources in different forms.
