I AM an organiser for the War Research Society, which was formed more than 30 years ago by serving police officers and exservicemen.

We support a number of causes, including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Normandy Widows and Veterans and other charities.

The society runs coach trips to the First and Second World War battlefields, cemeteries and historic sites of Northern Europe. This year, a selection of places to be visited includes Ypres and the Somme, Mons, Normandy, Arnhem, Berlin, Peenemunde, La Coupole, Paris and Compiegne.

All trips have an experienced guide and include conducted tours of the battlefields and visits to requested cemeteries.

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