Day 4 final day visiting Langemark German cemetery and Talbot House - Every man's club with Hardenhuish School. It has been the utmost pleasure of leading this tour. It was great fun and I've been able to add new stories to my tour patter. #TCBC

Day 3 with Hardenhuish School visiting Messines Ridge, Hooge Crater, Tyne Cot, two cemeteries for students, Passchendaele Museum and the Menin Gate. #TCBC I also ran into Andrew Thornton. It's an immense privilege to be out here passing on the stories and finding relatives of the First World War.

Day 2 with Hardenhuish School students and @TCBC Tours for a full day on the Somme. Fantastic mini service at Thiepval and an excellent spread of experiences knitting the narrative of the Somme front and finishing at Vimy Ridge... on to Belgium.

Day 1 of @Hardenhuishschool's FWW battlefield tour. I have the privilege of taking them out as their former Head of History and now tour guide for @TCBCschooltours. Total engagement from Year 9 at the Arras Memorial and Wellington Quarry
