Battlefields of Flanders and The Somme
Monday 11th March 2024 - 4 days

Itinerary
DAY 1: After a late morning ferry crossing we travel to the Ypres area stopping at Essex Farm Cemetery. We see its memorial to Canadian Officer John McCrae who wrote the famous poem In Flanders Fields here in 1915. This led to the poppy being taken as the emblem of remembrance for those who gave their lives in this, and subsequent conflicts, by the British Legion. After, we travel on to our hotel.

DAY 2: Today you travel to Ypres where there is time to explore the town. See the Flanders Field Museum (entry not included), the Grote Markt, the Cloth Hall and the Menin gate – the memorial contains the names of 54,389 men who died in the Ypres Salient and have no known grave. In the afternoon you visit Tyne Cot Cemetery – the largest Commonwealth War Cemetery in the World and then travel on to Lange mark German Cemetery as a comparison. We make a short visit to the Yorkshire Trench and dugout before returning to Ypres where there are many restaurants for dinner (not included). At 8pm you participate in the Last Post at Menin Gate.

DAY 3: We travel to The Somme area. 1st July 1916, the first day of the Somme offensive was the bloodiest in British history with over 20,000 men killed and 60,000 injured on this day. Over the 142 day offensive 420,000 British were killed, along with 205,00 French and more than 500,000 German men.

You visit:
• Lochnagar Crater – Measuring 300ft across and 90 ft deep it was one of 16 blown under German lines on 1 July 2016
• Thiepval War Memorial – the largest British War Memorial in the World, it contains the names of over 73,000 men with no known grave who fell in the Somme.
• Newfoundland Memorial Park – dedicated to the men of Newfoundland Regiment who suffered appalling losses here on 1st July 1916. There are exposed trenches and the opportunity to see how close allied and German trenches were to each other at this point.
• Vimy Ridge – The dramatic Vimy Memorial is dedicated to the Canadian Expeditionary Force members killed in the First World War and to those fallen in the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

DAY 4: Homeward bound with a stop at a supermarket on the way.
