Tour Details

In remembrance of all the war dead we walk through these portals into the battlefields of Passchendaele, the city of Ypres, Sanctuary Wood and other battlefields such as the “Wipers” Salient. 

On this journey with us, you will be spending time visiting many of the battlefields that so many young Canadians fought and died at 100 years ago. Joining us will mark 100 years of Remembrance of the Great War, and 100 years to the day of the beginning of "Canada's Hundred Days". Many of our stops along the way will be holding memorials for all of the fallen soldiers. In Canada's Hundred Day Battle the soldiers fought with confidence and pride, knowing they were pushing the Germans backwards at an unimaginable rate. Sadly, with this great effort came great loss. In Canada's final 100 days approximately 1 of 5 casualties throughout the entirety of the Great War took place here.

 

We will travel the route the Canadian's took in their great offensive to deplete the German Army, as well stop at many of the battlefields where great Canadian victories took place. As well, we will visit the Menin Gate, in Ypres. Since July 1st, 1928, every night The Last Post Association has taken a moment of silence after playing The Reveille, and The Last Post representing a final farewell to the fallen, but also symbolizes the return to daily life at the end of the act of remembrance, and expresses the resurrection to 'eternal life' of the fallen. This Summer we will join the Last Post Association in never forgetting the sacrifice so many soldiers gave commemorating 100 years since the end of the Great War.

 

You will also be visiting the newly dedicated memorial at Vimy Ridge as well as the Somme, Thiepval Memorial and Beaumont Hamel
