Battlefield Tours

Battlefield Tours

There were numerous battlefields in WWI and WWII where our brave, young ANZACs fought gallantly for our freedom. You can retrace the steps of these courageous men on a variety of Travel Associates battlefield tours.

Visit the very grounds along the Western Front in France and Belgium where our soldiers ultimately conquered the enemy but thousands lost their lives. Pay homage to the countless soldiers who never returned home in the military cemeteries and at the war memorials. Visit the Pheasant Wood Military Cemetery in Fromelles - opened in January 2010 and follow the Paths of Remembrance at Somme. Our expert guides will take you on a D-Day Battlefield tour highlighting where the troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and to the drop zones and battlefields of the area.

Hear about the heroic actions of our soldiers in WWI, as recounted by renowned war historians, on battlefield tours to Gallipoli. A Grand Turkey Tour or Turkey and Greece ANZAC Explorer will take you to Anzac Cove, Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair and other historic sites where the war was fought and forever changed our nation.

Travel Associates battlefield tours can take you to Crete in Greece, for the 70th Commemoration Pilgrimage. Honour the courageous soldiers by attending the memorial services, visiting the battlefields and listening to the stories from both noted historians and descendants of the soldiers themselves.
