Interesting ... the King is dead, long live the King .... but who? There probably are records somewhere .... govts. have to have contingency plans. It would make a good book, or a PhD thesis from some aspiring academic. But the British govt. has a very bad record on doctoring war time records from both of the wars. If there are any records they could be found in the archives of the Dominions as the British govt shared all records with them. In order to write his book "Haig's Command" Denis Winter found uncensored govt documents in the Canadian and Australian archives.
