Claude was prompt in picking us up from our hotel in Lille and then took us to see the final resting places of two of our family members, who were both killed in 1918. He was very flexible and worked in with our plans to visit these two graves at two different war cemeteries. He then took us around numerous battlefield sites and war cemeteries, involving New Zealanders, and his knowledge was first class. For that special day in connecting with those special soldiers, contact Claude and he will make it happen.

Claude met us at our hotel on time and took us to the Monash Memorial
We proceeded to see various War cemeteries around the Somme valley. The tour was first rate and Claude's knowledge was impressive.
Week worth the cost.
