In April 2008, we enjoyed a self organised, week long tour of the battlefields of France and Belguim. We were based in
Flers [forever associated with the first tanks] and spent a great deal of time on the Somme battlefields and
also managed a tour of the Ypres Salient. Throughout the week we visited approximately seventy sites relating to the Great
War.
