WW1 Battlefields Trip 28 th – 30 th June 2012

Day One - Ypres

How does the Allied cemetery compare with the German one?

The largest crater ever made by man in anger! Days 2&3 – The Somme

Beaumont Hamel & Newfoundland Memorial Park This park is one of only a few sites on the Western Front where the ground remains largely untouched from when the First World War ended. On the first day of the Somme Offensive, 1 July 1916, an attack was made over this ground towards the German positions. As well as preserved trenches and memorials, the park is famed also for the 'Danger Tree', a trunk skeleton marking the spot where casualties were highest on July 1.

Hill 62 – Sanctuary Wood Museum After WW1 a farmer reclaimed his land around what was left of the wood he had left in A section of trenches on his land were cleared of debris and casualties but the farmer left a section of a British trench system as he found it. This site is now one of the few places on the battlefields where an original trench layout can be seen in some semblance of what it might have looked like. There are also numerous battlefield relics and items of interest to be seen as part of the museum.

Accommodation The first night will be spent in Ypres, Belgium, and the second in Albert, France. All accommodation is designed for school groups. You will share a room with a few friends and all food will be provided (with the exception of meals when travelling). The hotels will also have recreation rooms where students can entertain themselves during free time in the evenings.

The details… We will leave Oakgrove at on Thursday 28 th June 2012 and return at on Saturday 30 th June The cost of the trip is £206 per student. Reply slips, medical forms and deposits of £50 must be in by next Friday!!!!

Why go? This trip is a fantastic opportunity to see what you have learnt in lessons brought to life. Experiencing the trenches first hand is the best way to really begin to imagine what the soldiers went through in WW1 and empathise with how they might have felt. A visit to the WW1 battlefields is an experience that you will remember for a lifetime!
