| What can I say ! Another Paul & Leger triumph (not forgetting the other guides of course). Kaisers Battle was a great tour, visiting places not so generally visited on other tours. The weather wasn't too kind at times but it didn't spoil a terrific trip. And.....we were the lucky ones !!!!! We got to visit the Wellington Tunnels in Arras. Due to Pauls persuasive powers and Legers standing in the Battlefield Tours (and arriving as soon they opened the gates !). What a superb place to visit. It is amazing...exceptionally well presented and a real feeling of how it must have been in 1917. It's a 'must visit' for all WW1 devotees and I know it will be included in as many Leger tours as possible when it can be arranged. If any of you have time to spare in Arras make it a priority to visit......book first ! Also.....be warned they don't accept credit/debit cards (yet) so you will need a supply of euros. 6.5 euros per person to get in and worth every penny (cent). Thank you Paul and Leger for another wonderful trip. Roll on the next one....Advance to Victory. Happy Easter to everyone. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we will remember them. RMA

As RMA said, that was awesome. So proud to be a veteran of the 1st Leger Expeditionary Force.
The visit to the Wellington Tunnels was worth the cost of the trip alone, it is an incredible place. Being there on Easter Sunday as well and seeing the altar table, very moving.
Having our own private commemorative service at Pozieres was something I will never forget.
As ever Paul was a fount of knowledge on events connected with both Kaiserslacht and other battles around the area, and his insight into the work of the battlefield recovery teams both from WW1 and other conflicts was eye opening. Those guys really were unsung heroes.
Marvellous to meet so many people with a personal connections to the events of 90 years ago, good luck with your various publications every one.
Lest we forget

| Yes amazing, I was very happy with it, not only visiting the battlefields of March 1918 but also we passed through or by many places where the K.S.L.I. where in 1917. Thanks to Paul and the drivers and the good company of others on the trip, made it a wonderful trip. Annette
