Overview of your Lille tour:

During that 2 day tour, I will bring you to the battlefields where Australian troops were in action in Flanders, Belgium, as well as in the Somme area. You will visit the most important museums and memorials, and we will spend time on the battlefields, where I will tell you why and how these operations happened. I will try to make you understand what the daily routine of a soldier was, and how they adapted to trench life. We will have lunch at one of the local places. In Ypres, you will have some free time to wander in the little town or taste one of the numerous Belgian beers.
