Personalised Somme War Grave Pilgrimage
Would you like to visit the grave of a family member or friend who fought in the First World War.
While our popular battlefield tours visit the main sites, there are hundreds of British and Commonwealth cemeteries. This tour allows you to visit the cemetery or memorial of your choice on the tour route.
Holiday Itinerary
This departure will be tailor-made to suit the requirements of your group and feature Silver Service luxury coach travel. Over the course of three days, the itinerary will be planned to combine visits to the grave/memorial of your choice and the major battlefield sites of the area (making each departure unique).
Visits will be made to the Cemeteries of the 1916 and 1918 Somme battlefield plus the area between Arras and Cambrai. Your visit to your chosen memorial/grave will be a private experience, and your guide will take you to the exact location, where you'll have time alone for quiet commemoration.
