Lest We Forget Tours was founded in 2004 by Brian Lancaster, a tour guide with 15 years’ experience, and his wife Joanna,who had been a teacher for some 20 years. Although Brian passed away in 2010, Joanna and her team continue to offer one-day, fully-guided battlefield tours that are excellent value for money. Each tour can be tailored to a group's specific requirements, with an itinerary to suit
any particular needs or requests of the participants, such as visiting a grandfather's grave or memorial, or taking into account individuals' mobility restrictions. Our flexible approach means that we can match your requirements to a full and rounded tour, with an interesting commentary aimed at the particular age group or client group. Our Philosophy
The four years of World War I were some of the most dramatic and tragic in British military history. Only when you visit the Western Front do you come to realise the total carnage which took place and realise just how traumatic it must have been for the thousands of men who passed on their way to the trenches, as well as for their mothers, wives and sweethearts left at home. So many British families were touched by loss in the First World War that everyone would have known someone who died – truly a war all the nation fought. It is a part of British military history which, whether regarded as success or failure, should never be forgotten. We strive to show the dramatic and tragic events of both world wars through the experiences of the battlefields and stories of the soldiers. We believe that only by sharing the experience of the battlefields can we achieve our goal to keep the memory alive – lest we forget.
