AS the 55th anniversary of the end of the Second World War approaches, may I remind readers of the work of the War Research Society, the battlefield pilgrimage tour organisation, for which I am the North West contact.
Since it was formed by a group of retired and serving police officers, the society has grown rapidly and is represented throughout Britain and in many countries abroad.
The number and scope of the tours is always increasing and we now cover both world wars in France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Italy, and with the anniversary of the Boer War this year, we have ventured into southern Africa, where we will be visiting both the Boer War and other sites
We can assist in tracing war graves and carry out additional research if required.
Financial help can be given in some cases to assist a visit and photographs can be taken for those unable to travel.
Further information and a tour brochure will be sent on receipt of an addressed A5 envelope and a 40p stamp.
