Visiting the Somme & Ypres Battlefields Made Easy: A Helpful Guide Book for Groups and Individuals

Visit the battlefields of the Great War with this easy-to-use planning guide to historic sites in France and Belgium. This splendid and timely book will be invaluable to those visiting the battlefields, sites, museums, memorials and cemeteries of France and Belgium. It is intended for those planning and leading school groups and similar parties but is also ideal for individual and families. Rather than list every site, the book provides realistic itineraries to the best places in the two major areas of the Somme and Ypres. Even these are flexible to allow party leaders suitable discretion. The author provides helpful information for each site such as its context in the War, visitor orientation, the 'spiel' (the essential facts to engage, inform and entertain), suggested activity and relevant photos and maps. There are also valuable tips for lunch breaks, free time ideas and other helpful pointers to make planning a tour easy and enjoyable.
