On this tour we will follow in the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands of British soldiers who saw service in this oft-forgotten sector between September 1914 and October 1918.
Rue-David Military Cemetery, Fleurbaix
 
"When they took him away, I thought
I heard him wail. Now he's down there
Making caissons out of poppies
The boy we carved out of heaven's breath
A boy with the powder of love now just a breath of lead, a smell of steel".
