Military Historian - Battlefield tours

Battlefield Tours

'It is the province of the historian to find out, not what was, but what is. Where a battle has been fought, you will find nothing but the bones of men and beasts, where a battle is been fought, there are hearts beating.'
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

As a historian I have led battlefield tours (and the professional military version which is known as a staff ride) for over 15 years, including but not limited to:

Image	Theatre	Comments
	NORMANDY 1944	From D-Day to the closing of the Falaise pocket
	THE WESTERN FRONT 1914-1918	The major British battles including Ypres Salient, the Retreat from Mons, The Somme, Cambrai, and also Verdun and the Meuse-Argonne battles.
	NORTH AFRICA	The Battles of El Alamein and Alam Halfa 1942
	SOUTH AFRICA	The Battles of the Zulu War 1879 and the Boer War 1899-1902
	Franco - Prussian War 1870-71	The Battles of Mars-la-Tour, Gravelotte and Sedan etc

Plus Vicksburg 1863, the Suez Canal crossings 1973, and a few others that you might not expect!

(*NB: Organised battlefield tours in South Africa are required by law to be accompanied by an authorised South African tour guide; I have worked well with these guides in the past.)
