Tour the australian WW1 battlefields from home !
Because of the current situation it is very difficult to travel from Australia to France. Nobody knows for how long it will last but we know that many australians had planned to come or wish to visit the WW1 battlefields in France and/or a grave of a relative.
Considering the situation and living at the heart of the Somme battlefields, we have decided to offer a new online service dedicated to the australians who can't come to us: we come to you !
We offer you a tailor-made Virtual Tour of the battlefields. This is your tour: you choose what you want to see, where you want to go, if you want to follow in the footsteps of a relative, if you want to visit a grave, or go to any specific site then we go on site and make a film specificaly for you and we send it to you.
Watch the film about Pte. Robert Mactier
This is an example of what we can do: let's follow in the footsteps of Pte. Robert Mactier, an australian soldier from the 23rd infantry battalion, in the last days of August 1918 in the Somme...
Filmed with kind permission of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission
Interested in a relative who served in WW1 ?
Many australians have family members who served on the Western Front, by giving us the information about a soldier who fought there; his full name, his army number, the battalion he fought with - whatever you can find - we will do the research then go and film the places that relate to this person.
We fully understand the importance of being able to see a family member's grave. If you wish to see a specific grave in a cemetery here is what we can do:
- Go to the cemetery, we film the area and the grave
- Leave flowers, poppies, a personnal message or photo on request
- Play the Last Post or say a personnal message
