Battlefields & Stories of the Great War


One hundred years after the end of the First World War, join our commemorative cruise to explore the stories around the battlefields of the Western Front. Mons is particularly symbolic for Britain as it was where our first and last soldier died, so we take some time to visit their graves and hear about their stories at the Mons Memorial Museum. A guided tour of Antwerp then reveals what life was like for the citizens of this city. We also visit Ypres, which was at the heart of the salient, before exploring the area known to our troops as Plugstreet. And as we walk around these now beautiful places, it can be hard to believe what happened all those years ago; but it’s vital we remember.

On this unique centenary tour, you will have the chance to meet the irrepressible journalist, broadcaster and historian Peter Snow. As well as joining readers on moving and illuminating visits to the famous Menin Gate, In Flanders Field museum and the Plugstreet Memorial to the Missing, Peter will also give a private talk introducing his acclaimed new book, War Stories, as well as answering your questions about his illustrious and action-packed career.
