  • D Day Powerpoint
    D-Day The term D-Day refers to a specific date for a planned operation, often a military attack. However, the term D-Day has also become synonymous with the allied attack on the beaches of Normandy which took place on 6th June 1944. Photo courtesy of Chief Photographer's Mate (CPHoM) Robert F. Sargent (@wikicommons) - granted under creative commons licence The Atlantic Wall During the Second World War, Germany was in control of much of Europe. This map shows which countries were controlled by Nazi Germany in 1942. The Atlantic Wall Strongholds secured by Germany in France were fiercely defended and Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of fortifications - known as the Atlantic Wall - along the coastal regions of north- western Europe and Scandinavia in preparation for an expected Allied attack by Great Britain. Note: Britain occupied the Faroe Islands and Iceland during the war. Photo courtesy of User:Uberstroker (@wikicommons) - granted under creative commons licence Operation Overlord From early on in the war, it was clear that in order to secure Allied success, the liberation of north-west Europe from German control was vital. The Allies made plans to try and drive the Germans out of France. They planned Operation Overlord - a huge military assault which would combine naval, land and airborne attacks on the Germans in France. Operation Overlord Every detail of the operation was so intricately planned that it took over two years to put the plan into action. Operation Overlord was the biggest military operation the world had ever seen and was a collaborative effort between more than 12 countries.

  • Normandy 2016
    Normandy 2016 31st May 2016 A very early start on a dreadful day. Torrential rain and spray from vehicles, conditions were very bad and at times dangerous. As we approached the QE11 bridge the traffic was heavier and the rain much worse with vehicles aquaplaning and incredible spray. The water on the roads, was in my view at a dangerous point with people travelling much too fast. In 43 years driving and thousands of miles travelled I don't think I have driven in worse conditions. On the M20 there was debris in the carriageway and we got a puncture in poring rain, exiting the vehicle we stood over the arnco waiting for recovery. Being showered with water every time an HGV went past, “Singing in the Rain” and “Raindrops Keep falling On My Head” wore a bit thin!!! Soaking wet and very cold we were AA rescued and taken to Kwik Fit where I was stung for a tyre, but happily changed our clothes, even our underwear, which was soaking and resumed our journey still in pouring rain. All the way down to our destination it rained and rained. A very tired pair of friends arrived at our home for the next 8 days. 1st June Wednesday Still tired but up and away to Vire, did some shopping and visited a church or two. Here I paid respects to their War Memorials and sang in the churches. I love to sing and to hear what a hymn or favourite piece of music sounds like in a beautiful church is a real pleasure.

As we move into the final year of the centenary of the end of WW1 our head guide Paul Reed has created a selection of special anniversary event tours plus new tours covering some of the major final campaign battles.

Ian Henry, Chief Executive, Leger Holidays Inspirational journeys of Remembrance and Discovery Visiting battlefields from the two World Wars remains a fascinating, rewarding and moving experience. A century after WW1 and some 75 years since WW2, the debt we owe to those generations remains strong and the legacy of Remembrance they have left us prompts many who travel on our Battlefield Tours to ask more: who is the solider in that faded photo at home?

  • 1St Battalion Worcestershire Regiment
    The First Battalion The Worcestershire Regiment North West Europe 1944-1945 Roll of Honour Compiled by Louis M Scully (Updated 4th Edition - May 2012) 2 WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM This booklet provides details of all officers and men of the Battalion who gave their lives in World War 2 during 1944-45. A total of 287 men died whilst in action between June 1944 and May 1945 and are buried in war graves in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Each entry gives details of full name, rank, and number. If known the company they served with is also shown below their army number. Most war graves have some personal inscriptions with words provided by the families of the dead. Below are a few examples, which I feel best express the mood and thoughts of those left behind: “No greater love hath no man than this. To lay down his life for his friends.” “Tranquil you lie. Your knightly virtue proved. Hallowed in the land you died R.I.P.” - from the headstone of Lance Sergeant Frank Harold Barker “It is not life that matters. ‘Tis the courage you bring to it.”–from the headstone of Captain Cedric Alfred Humphries a Worcestershire Regiment officer Attached to 1st Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. Please note a few of the officers listed in this booklet were attached to other regiments, but have been included for the completeness. A single letter below the army number, where shown, indicates the Company they served in; i.e. D means ‘D’Company. 3 4 Locations of war cemeteries in Normandy 5 43rd Wessex Memorial Plaque at Berjou, France Memorial at Elst, Holland 6 BANNEVILLE-LA-CAMPAGNE WAR CEMETERY, Calvados, France Banneville-la-Campagne is a village in Normandy.
