11am, 11 November 1918. The guns fell silent.
Today we honour every soldier who never came home, and the families they left behind.
We will remember them.
Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we remember all who served and gave their lives. At 11 o’clock, the nation will fall silent and tonight in Ypres, the Last Post will sound beneath the Menin Gate, as it has nearly every evening since 1928.
Lest we forget.
Two minutes of silence. A lifetime of gratitude. This November, we pause for those who never came home, and on our expert-led battlefield tours, we honour them at the places where history was made. We will remember them. ow.ly/9vWx5102pox

And what a way to end my @LegerBattleTour Gallipoli tour. Mustafa Kemal’s viewpoint of Suvla Bay. From here he watched the landing unfold on 7/8/1915. Farewell to the Dardanelles until we meet again. #gallipoli

Day 2 of the @LegerBattleTour Band of Brothers, 25th Anniversary tour. This tour covering both Normandy and the Netherlands.
Credit to @Agrbez, who for this leg has had these custom roll outs made for us. 5 metres long! Sometimes on the ground it is hard to get across the sheer scale the size of the landings and resources used.
Here is a complete diagram of both 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions troop carrier transport group for the PIR. Departing airfield, unit, serial, jump time. The detail we have even then goes down in to company level and who was in the respective stick.
Easy Company are marked in blue, Lt Meehans C47 in red, Lt Winters C47 in green.
To think this formation of aircraft is around 2hrs30min of continuous flight overhead. And, this does not even include the transport group for the GIR! Imagine to have been on the ground that night and witnessed this.
Absolutely fantastic to be able to present this level of detail today with my group.
More moments from We Have Ways Fest! 📸 @WeHaveWaysPod
