The 'Boys' with their 'Toys' - L - R Paul Oldfield, Bob Brunsdon and Andy Johnson
The Guild completed a very successful tour of the Ardennes looking in some detail at that campaign. As part of the GPD/Recce programme Members were given the opportunity not only to look at the ground but also to present at stands where actions took place. These tours are an opportunity to learn the route as well as helping those who may be studying for the 'Badge' with their presentation skills. Not only did they learn but had a good time as well! Our group was based at La Roche -En - Ardennes
