Our men got nowhere on the first day. They had been mown down like grass by German machine-gunners who, after our barrage had lifted, rushed out to meet our men in the open. Many of the best battalions were almost annihilated, and our casualties were terrible.

Our One Day Trips and Short Breaks to First and Second World War Battlefields and Historical Cities provide an enticing insight into their past. A battlefield visit gives us a sense of the intensity of the tragedy of war and still has the power to overwhelm us emotionally. Special tailor- made, fully guided tours for you and your family, in our luxury mini-bus are available at any time of the year.
