During this 3-day tour you will walk in the footsteps of the Australian soldiers who crossed the oceans to come and fight here in Europe. From Fromelles the 1st battle in France for the ANZAC's, to Ypres, Passendale, Pozières and Villers-Bretonneux. You will stand on the major and smaller battlefields trying to understand how and why these offensives were successful or not. We will not only talk about battles and tactics but also about the soldier's daily life in the trenches and behind the lines. I am very flexible and I can adapt the tour at your wishes and abilities.
Day1: Visiting Fromelles, Pheasant Wood and VC Corner. Driving to Armentières, Ploegsteert Seeing the Memorial. Going to Messines and Hill 60 to see the Caterpillar mine crater.
