Does anyone know of any organised trips to war graves. My grandfather is buried in France and I would like to go to see it.

Hi - I went on a Battlefields coach tour of the Somme area this summer - It was organised by Crusader Holidays and was very good. They have local pick-up points all over the South of England.

We went on a Battlefield tour with Leger Holidays last year and we made several ( small ) detours to visit particular cemeteries where relatives of other passengers were buried. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful in locating specific graves.
