We provide a complimentary research service for all tour guests who are following in the footsteps of a relative and want to know more about where he fought, and perhaps died. Simply provide the soldier's details (Full name, regimental number and Battalion) to adam@dndbattletours.com.au.

 

The tour is sufficiently comprehensive that our itinerary will cover all Australian battle areas on the Western Front. We are mindful that this is a 'Group' tour; however, in the unlikely event that it does not cover a specifically pertinent battle location or cemetery*, all efforts will be made to ensure a guest can get there (even if briefly separated from the tour group).

 

*If your soldier 'Died of Wounds'. Depending on the place of death (Rear Aid Post, Casualty Clearing Station, or Base/Stationary Hospital) he may be buried further back from the front. Many of the CWGC 'Concentration' and smaller cemeteries are in our line of travel; however, the larger CWGC cemeteries close to established hospitals are not. Eg. 1st Australian General Hospital was located in Rouen (Normandy - 120km from Amiens), and 2nd Australian General Hospital was located in Wimereux (Pas-de-Calais - 120km from Ypres). We can provide advice on how to access these locations prior to or after the tour.

N.B. We do attend St Sever Cemetery located next to 1AGH as part of our Exclusive 'Normandy Adventure' Add-On tours.
