I AM the local contact for the War Research Society run by retired and serving police officers and ex-servicemen as a charitable hobby.

It was founded many years ago and supports a number of charities including the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal Fund and veterans.

We run trips to the battlefields and cemeteries of northern Europe, namely the Somme, Ypres, The Ardennes, Dieppe, Normandy and Arnhem.

All trips have an experienced guide. We would welcome inquiries and only ask for a medium-sized stamped, addressed envelope so that details can be forwarded.
