Day 2 ofthe Battlefields Tour 🇫🇷
Day 2 was a truly powerful and reflective day for our students as they explored some of the most significant sites of the First World War.
Students began at Vimy Ridge, standing before the breathtaking Canadian National Memorial, where they learned about the bravery and sacrifice of the Canadian Corps. From there, they travelled to Thiepval Memorial, an incredibly moving tribute to the missing of the Somme.
They also visited Ulster Tower, recognising the contribution and sacrifice of the 36th (Ulster) Division, and spent time at Beaumont Hamel Newfoundland Memorial, where the story of the Newfoundland Regiment brought the human cost of war into sharp focus.
Finally, they ended the day at the vast Lochnagar Crater, a stark reminder of the scale and devastation of the conflict.
Throughout the day, our students showed great respect, curiosity, and maturity as they engaged with the history and reflected on the lives of those who came before them.
A deeply memorable day that will stay with us all.
