Battlefields 2005

A tour party of 34 boys and four members of staff visited some sites of the First World War between Thursday 26th May and Sunday 29th May. A bleary-eyed tour party set off early on the Thursday morning and eventually found its way to our hotel in Arras, northern France. On Friday we visited a selection of sites on the Ypres Salient, including the famous memorial at the Menin Gate where we stood in silent tribute during the Last Post ceremony. We spent Saturday travelling around the Somme region, the scene of one of the blackest days in British military history on July 1st 1916. A brief visit to the tunnels and trenches of Vimy Ridge rounded off a memorable and often moving trip

Below are some photographs of the trip. Click on the photograph for a larger version.
