Battlefield Tour

Battlefield Tour

In October of 2007 I traveled from Canada to England to take a battlefield tour of France and Belgium. My friend and myself were met at our hotel by the tour guide and we drove via the Chunnel to France to begin our tour at Vimy Ridge. From there we spent 7 days touring France and Belgium, winding up at the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate where I was privileged to lay a wreath in honour of the 21st Battalion CEF.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in military history for both WW1 and WW2. He took the time to explain root causes for both conflicts, as well as having in his possession many maps and photos pertaining to both wars. We traveled in a new 8 passenger van that was extremely comfortable and our needs were completely looked after, from accommodations to shopping, to visiting specific cemeteries or battlefields.

Dave Craig, our tour guide, is not only knowledgeable, but very personable and was eager to tend to our needs.

I have no financial interest in his business, but I recommend him highly if you are considering a battlefield tour and desire the personal attention that only a small group can provide.
