Question for Paul, or any of the guides :-

Will the 26th May tour "All Quiet on the Western Front" (Silver Service) definitely go ahead? as it's my first Legers tour i'm not sure if it could get cancelled if it doesn't fill up?

I'm getting excited and can't wait for confirmation details!

Also do you know yet who the guide might be on this tour?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, first time posting from me, so here goes!

We are booked on the above tour starting May 26th, is there any chance of visiting a particular war cemetery? I realise that if everyone on the coach wanted to do this then there would be no time for anything else, but if time permits then i'd love to visit Warloy Baillon - a few miles west of Albert where my great uncle is buried. What are the chances of arranging this?

I quite understand if this is not going to be possible, but as i've always been taught "Shy boys get nothing" !

Really looking forward to our trip, we have only been to the WWI battlefield once before (briefly)

Thanks for any feedback that one of the guides can possibly give.:cool:

What a great and memorable tour, very moving it enabled us to visit where our Grandparents and Great Uncles served and remember those who didn’t come back. Paul Reed our tour guide is a first class historian who made history come alive for us, his depth of knowledge and understanding of the First World War is truly astounding, all are questions no matter how small he answered fully.

Our coach crew Darren and Tony and the Silver Service coach, first class!
If you are staying in Menin we can recommend for your evening meal the restaurant Guynemer down the road from the Best Western Hotel, the best steak we have ever had.

Recommend this tour to anyone, a real good introduction to WW1 history.

When you are home if you want profiles of family members that served use Legers Research service (Via Paul Reed) excellent.

Howdy!

To anyone from the party that I was in, hello and I hope you are all doing well.

To those of you who saw me fall over in Delville Wood, thanks for your discretion in not mentioning it to anyone else..... DOH!

Anyone thinking of going on this trip, do it! A fantastic introduction to the Western Front.
