I was so impressed the depth of knowledge Roger has for the Ypres battlefields. But it was even more than that. We really appreciated that he both picked us up and dripped us off from our hotel in Poperinge. You can read all you want about this subject but until you can have a person like Roger put things into perspective and then show you the views of the combatants as you tour the area, only then do you realize what you have been missing and the enormity of the titantic struggle that took place there 1914-1918. I also appreciated that Roger included a German military cemetery into the tour so there was a sense of completeness about our tour.

This is an intimate, entertaining, and meaningful tour full of unique personal touches. Roger collected me from my hotel and led an absolutely brilliant tour. He really contextualized the war in the Ypres salient, highlighting the role of environment and space, and thus brought to life the now silent landscape.

Roger has such a passion for WW1 and a knowledge that any scholar would be envious of. His tour was varied, we visited trenches, bunkers, cemeteries, monuments all within a 4 mile radius. At every point Roger explained what happened at these points, even down to explaining the colours around the trees. My husband and I came away with a much deeper understanding of the war and how treacherous life was for all concerned.
