Tour Introduction
Whilst, for the men of the British Expeditionary Force, France and Flanders must have seemed a long way from home, a hundred years on they feel so much closer – making a meaningful one-day school battlefield tour a reality.
Anglia’s reputation is built on providing high-quality curriculum-focused school history trips. The real advantage of travelling with one of our unrivalled team of expert guides is that, in just a single day, your students will cover far more than many operators would offer you in a two-day tour.
Whether you choose to go to Ypres, Arras or the Somme we can cover a range of topics including:
- The nature of trench warfare
- Life in the trenches
- The role of women
- The uniform, equipment and weapons of a British Tommy
- The role of the Commonwealth and former Empire
- The ethos of the Commonwealth
- The Commonwealth War Graves Commission
