Military Tours

People visit battlefields for many reasons, from historical interest to paying respects to those who fought, suffered and, all too often, died there. For military personnel, however, there is an additional dimension.

Throughout history, armies (and navies and air forces) have faced the problem of how, during training, to bring home the realities of war. By visiting a battlefield, learning and analysing what happened there and why, a whole new dimension can be brought to training.

Whether it is young recruits learning about the Core values, career courses studying tactics or logistics at any level or senior personnel improving their command and staff skills, there are, short of war itself, few effective substitutes to studying at the site of the event.

We have structured this website to reflect the current three types of tours being undertaken by all three Services. The list is not exhaustive and their duration will depend on several factors, not least the time you have available! If you cannot see what you require then please ask.
