On Sunday, October 18 until Friday, October 23 in this, the centenary of the Great War, I will be leading a coach party from the north of England to the First War Battlefields in Belgium and France.
We will visit Flanders, Vimy, Arras and the Somme.
It will be possible to arrange personal visits to a family member's grave, memorial or an area of a battlefield which has personal significance.
There will be a special connection with Cumbria in that we will also be following in the footsteps of the Rev Theodore Bayley Hardy VC DSO MC, one time vicar of Hutton Roof, Westmorland, who was the most decorated non-combatant in the Great War and who died only days before the Armistice in 1918.
We have a few places left and I will be happy to supply full details to your readers if they contact me at 2, Eden Gate, Warcop, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria CA16 6PL, telephone 017683-41060, or by email at johndavidraw@gmail.com
