Battlefield Tours with Thompson Travel

19/06/2026

We are delighted to share some photographs from our very successful tour to the Somme and Flanders Fields this past May.

Over several memorable days, we visited many of the key battlefields, memorials, cemeteries, and historic sites associated with the First World War, reflecting on the sacrifices made by those who served. The tour provided a wonderful opportunity to learn, remember, and pay our respects, while also enjoying the company of fellow travellers who share an interest in this important history.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the tour such a success. We hope these photographs bring back fond memories for those who attended and offer a glimpse of the experience for those who long to visit.

Lest We Forget💙

A massive thank you to C & G Embroidery & Print for producing the t-shirts for the event.

🎖️Another unforgettable day on our Somme & Battlefields tour.

Today we visited:
📍The Animals in War Memorial,
📍Lochnagar Crater at La Boisselle
📍Tank Corps Memorial and more...

🎖️Walking through these historic sites and learning the stories behind them has been both moving and memorable for everyone on the trip. A powerful reminder of the sacrifice, courage, and history connected to the Somme battlefields.
