Battlefield Explorer Tours

On my tours I share the history of the battles and the soldiers with the aim that the torch of remembrance is passed on to the next generation.

We will visit the battlefields of Operation Market Garden (and others) and on site we will talk about the history of what happened there, tell the stories of who fought there, and explain why this still matters today. My words are supported by maps, photos, aerial photographs, audio and video to give you the best possible experience.

We will discuss the big picture, why the operation was launched, what the goals were and how they were to be achieved. Then we focus on what happened to the troops on the ground, what were their experiences, what decisions were made that caused the outcomes and we reflect on the human cost.

By the end of the tour I hope to have inspired you to pass on what you have learned, that you too will help carry the torch and help keep the memories of their sacrifices alive.

Let me take you to battlefields around Arnhem, Nijmegen and Eindhoven and beyond.
