EACH year the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and Light Infantry Regi-mental Association Battlefield Research Section organise two pilgrimages to battle areas of the First World War.
In August and September, we plan to visit the Somme and the Ypres Salient battlefields. We will also visit the Battlefields of Arras, Vimy Ridge, Loos and Le Cateau, if these areas are requested.
The trips specialise in visiting specific cemeteries or memorials as and when they are requested, and an experienced battlefield guide will accompany each trip.
We can also assist people in the tracing of war graves from the First and Second World Wars.
The Battlefield Research Section was formed as a charitable hobby in 1990 by ex-servicemen who have many years of practical experience conducting visits to First World War battlefield areas of France and Flanders, and we support a variety of ex-service charities and institutions.
These trips are open to anyone who might be interested and we welcome all inquiries.
For further information write to: JOE STREET, 7 Westgrove, Royston, Near Barnsley, South Yorkshire S71 4RY or ring 01226 723860. Enclose a medium sized SAE for all postal replies.
