Too many late nights reseaching, not enough writing!

I think I am in danger of spending too much time on my research and not enough time actually writing!  I'm not sure if it's a diversionary tactic or not though????

I stayed up until 2am last night.  I was determined to find a picture of the two ships Matthew travelled on during his war service - and this was no easy feat.  The names were all different, some had SS, HMAT, HMAS or Troopship in front and the spellings were all different, but eventually I found the photos and some paintings too.... Here are the paintings.....





Matthew departed Australia bound for Egypt on the "TSS Aeneas" on the 11 April 1916

  



Matthew returned to Australia on 'The Plassy" on 12th June 1919

  
I did get a new idea for the book though - I am going to have a mini chapter between each of the 'present day' chapters that contains photos, letters and diary entries.  This will expand Edwin's role in the book and add depth to the story.  Might get started on it today....

Luckily, all the photos from World War 1 are out of copyright so I will be able to use them in the book!  Loving it! ;)
