I AM the local agent for the War Research Society which was founded over 30 years ago by serving police officers and ex-servicemen.

The society supports a number of causes including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Normandy Widows and Veterans and and other charities.

The society runs coach trips to World War I and II battlefields, cemeteries and historic sites of Northern Europe. In 2006 a selection of the places to be visited includes: Ypres and the Somme, Normandy, Arnhem, Reichswald, Rheinberg, St Nazaire, Ardennes and the Dambuster Raid.

All trips have an experienced guide and include conducted tours of the battlefields and visits to requested cemeteries.

I would welcome inquiries and ask for a medium-sized addressed envelope so that literature detailing tour dates, costs etc can be forwarded.

JOHN ROBINSON, 52 The Vineries, Woolton, Liverpool L25 6EX.
