2024 Armistice Special
Join us on the battlefields to get a true experience and immerse yourselves into the
night before the Armistice
Part of this tour will include attending a ceremony and lighting candles in
remembrance as well as some night laning on the battlefield to reach some of
the cemeteries that are off the beaten track so that they too are remembered.
Tour dates: TBC
The Battle of Arras is often overlooked, but at the end of 38 days of fighting in the
spring of 1917, along a front stretching 20 kilometres from Vimy Ridge to the plain of
Bullecourt, 300,000 personnel on both sides were listed as wounded, missing or
dead. The British Army suffered an average of 4,000 wounded and killed every day -
the highest average daily casualty rate of any British offensive on the Western Front.
For many, their experiences at Arras were the most brutal of the war. Most visitors
travel around the battlefields by car or bus; however, on our tours we rarely see other
vehicles on the lanes we use to traverse the area
Our tour starts near the historical market town of Arras; the frontline for much of
WW1.
Over three days we will give you an insight from a different perspective of this
famous battlefield, traveling in a small convoy of 5-6 vehicles, on tracks once trod by
infantry.
You’ll receive CB commentary as we drive along our route so you can really get a
sense of where troops came from and what their objectives were.
