Friends Battlefield Tours
Between 2013 and 2019, the Friends have organised both independently and together with like-minded organisations, a yearly dedicated Suffolk Regiment tour to the former battlefields of the Western Front or North-West Europe.
Sadly however, following Brexit, the days of a minibus of like-minded enthuiasts venturing to the continent to walk the battlefields are sadly now behind us. The rules have changed and now only authorised tour guides can carry out such operations. Our tours were universally popular and drew a dedicated 'team' that followed us throughout the centenary. They drew upon much unseen material and previously unpublished personal testimonies, making them a unique, dedicated experience for those who attended them. We have not however, ruled out the possibility of restarting our tours in partnership with a like-minded partner, so if you are interested to return to the battlefields to share our 'hive' of Suffolk Regiment knowledge, then we'd be happy to hear from you. In the meantime, you can read more about our past tours and see just how much we packed into each one, by clicking on the photographs below:
