Trenches and craters at Vimy Ridge
Led by military historian Hugh Macdonald-Buchanan, we will visit the principal battlefields of the British Expeditionary Force, starting in the notorious Ypres Salient which saw intense fighting throughout the war, especially at Paschendaele. We then visit all the great battlefields further south including the Somme, Arras, Cambrai and the point of the final breakthrough in 1918 where the Allies began their journey to victory. Along the way, we will visit some of the most beautiful memorials and cemeteries, including those of the French and German armies. The Great War was not the ‘war to end all wars’ but left an indelible impression on Europe and the World.
