| Just returned from 'The Old Contemptibles'. A wonderful trip and with Peter Williams as guide quite a few 'interesting' bonus visits as well. We were on a brand new coach..Silver Service of course....that was several feet longer than the normal coaches. Congratulations to Les who had the dubious pleasure of driving and negotiating some of Peters wonderful 'off the beaten tracks' visits. And to Sharon his wife who worked miracles with a broom to enable the coach to pass a road sign in Mons....enough said !! The weather could have been kinder but the areas covered and the history from the first shots fired fitted perfectly with 'Advance to Victory' albeit back to front from a date point of view with my booking dates. Well done Paul & all.....you never cease to amaze me with your trips. RMA

| Hi Paul I notice 'Old Contemptibles' has dropped off for next year. As it is such a wonderful tour, I hope it will make a return. I know you are continually coming up with wonderful new tours and others need to move over to make room, but don't leave it off for too long. It is the perfect insight to dedicated WW1 enthusiasts. Will there be a tour soon covering 1915 and Loos etc.? I'm sure there used to be. Looking forward to seeing you at Armistice. RMA
