Now that the battlefields are open again time to plan for next year's trips. A guide to an area less visited than others. A bargain on Helion's website at the moment!! Northern part out by Spring.
A bit more content to spread the word. Hashtags are supposed to be important on here so: #Greatwar #WW1 #militaryhistory #Arras #Somme #1914-1918 #Normandy #History
Some #GreatWarGroup members at Botley Cemetery, Oxford recently.
I take tours on the Western Front and in Normandy, the last one being a superb 9 days combined one with a Canadian father and son. They were such great company - here they are at a well known location.
Just about revised the text of this for a paperback edition to be published soon. Hopefully all the mistakes have been removed (newbe author errors!)
