I AM an organiser for the War Research Society, which was founded over 30 years ago by serving police officers and ex-servicemen. The society supports a number of causes, including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Normandy Widows and Veterans and other charities.

The society runs a coach trip to the First and Second World War battlefields, cemeteries and historic sites of Northern Europe. In 2008, a selection of the places to be visited includes: Ypres and the Somme, Normandy, Arnhem, Reichswald and the Dambuster Raid. All trips have an experienced guide and include conducted tours of the battlefields and visits to requested cemeteries.

I welcome enquiries and ask for a medium sized stamped addressed envelope so that literature detailing tour dates, costs etc, can be forwarded.
