I AM the local contact for the War Research Society, run mainly by retired and serving police officers and ex-servicemen as a charitable hobby. It was founded many years ago and supports a number of charities including the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal Fund and Veterans.
We run trips to the battlefields and cemeteries of Northern Europe, namely, the Somme, Ypres, the Ardennes, Dieppe, Normandy, Arnhem, Nijmegen, Berlin, Belsen, Soltau, Rechswald, Rheinberg, Colditz Castle, the Dambusters Raid and Buchenwald. All trips have an experienced guide and conducted tours of the battlefields and visits to requested cemeteries are made.
We would welcome inquiries and only ask for a medium-sized stamped addressed envelope, so that details can be forwarded.
