Do you have a soldier named on the Menin Gate?
Designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and constructed in the early 1920s, the Menin Gate bears the names of almost 55,000 soldiers who are missing 'somewhere in the Ypres Salient'. Included among them are 6,000 Australians.
Officially opened in July 1927, it has since been the scene of the poignant 'Last Post' ceremony at 8:00pm every night (except for a brief period during WW2). Sombre crowds gather to hear the mournful wail of the bugles echoing around the stone archways and panels inscribed with the names of the sacred dead.
You can take part in the ceremony by laying a wreath. If you are very fortunate, you may be chosen to recite the ode, as many of our guests have.

Lest we forget.

'Message in a bottle' tells of two Anzacs' unique story.

Two of our guests are following in the footsteps of 3 family Anzacs, and while we researched them, we discovered one had an interesting story from his voyage off to war.

Thomas BIRNEY sailed from Brisbane in November 1916 aboard the 'Kyarra', with his pal, Harry FORREST. When off the Victorian coast they scribbled a note, sealed it in a bottle and tossed it overboard.
It was found washed up on a southern beach and made it's way back to BIRNEY's father and into 'The Northern Star' newspaper (see pic).

While Thomas was wounded twice in action and returned home, poor Harry FORREST would be killed during the battle of Polygon Wood in September 1917. He rests in Tyne Cot Cemetery and will be visited by BIRNEY's family during their 3-Day tour.

As an author and professional Battlefield Investigator, this is the level of research I will undertake for your Anzac. Discover your family's Anzac story...

What is the 'right' tour you ask?
The tour that allows you to personally visit specific battlefields that are significant to your family. Not all Aussies fought at Pozieres or Villers-Bretonneux... many fought in Ypres and at Bullecourt....
And, how do you 'choose the right tour'?
You provide your Anzac's details to us.
Our battlefield investigator will determine your Anzac's movements so you will know 'what' they actually did, and 'where'. You can then choose one of our great Australian tours with confidence!
