Battle tours

I AM an agent for the War Research Society which was founded nearly 30 years ago by serving police officers and ex-servicemen. The society supports causes including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Normandy Widows and veterans.

The society runs coach trips to the First and Second World War battlefields, cemeteries and historic sites of Northern Europe. During the year, places to be visited include Ypres, the Somme, Normandy, Berlin, Belsen, Arnhem, Reichswald, Rheinberg, the Dambusters Raid, Colditz Castle, Buchenwald and the Ardennes.

We also have a tour that includes Prague and Auschwitz. All trips have an experienced guide and include the battlefields and visits to cemeteries.

I welcome inquiries and ask for a medium stamped, addressed envelope, so our brochure detailing tour dates, costs etc can be forwarded. Readers who may be interested can contact me at the address below.
