EACH year the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Regimental Association Battlefield Research Section organise a pilgrimage to the battle areas of the First World War.
In late September we plan to visit France and Flanders, taking in the Somme and the Ypres Battles, also Vimy Ridge, Loos, Arras, and the Barnsley Pals Memorial on the battleground at Serre.
The trip specialises in visiting specific cemeteries or memorials on request. An experienced guide will accompany the trip to commentate on specific battles.
Wherever possible we also operate a grave tracing and photography service for those unable to travel.
We welcome all enquiries. Anyone interested and requiring further information should contact Mr Joe Street, 7 West Grove, Royston, Near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, S71 4RY, or telephone 01226 723860.
We ask for a medium-size stamped addressed envelope for postal replies.
Joe Street, Secretary, KOYLI and LI Association (Battlefield Research Section).
