I AM the local agent for the War Research Society which was founded more than 30 years ago by serving police officers and ex-servicemen.
The society supports a number of causes, including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Normandy widows and veterans and other charities.
The society runs coach trips to the First and Second World War battlefields, cemeteries and historic sites of northern Europe.
In 2006 a selection of the places to be visited includes: Ypres and the Somme, Normandy, Arnhem, Reichswald, Rheinberg, St Nazaire, Ardennes and the Dambuster raid.
All trips have an experienced guide and include conducted tours of the battlefields and visits to requested cemeteries.
I would welcome inquires from anyone interested in joining one of the trips and ask for a medium-sized stamped addressed envelope so that literature detailing tour dates, costs etc can be forwarded.
