'Join together and serve together' - a great recruiting slogan, but unfortunately many would also die together. Most of the Pals came from the industrial north of England - Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Hull, Manchester, Liverpool and Accrington. For many the 1st of July 1916 was their baptism and their funeral.
This schools battlefield and education first world war tour examines the exploits of the 31st Division at Serre, the 36th Ulsters at Mill Road, the 32nd on the Leipzig salient and the successes of the 30th at Montauban. What next? How could a small town like Accrington deal with 500 casualties in one day?
This schools WW1 tour will finish at the largest British war memorial in the world, high on the Thiepval ridge - Lutyen's Memorial to the Missing.
This Pals Battalion schools battlefield tour is part of Holts Themed Education Tours, which can be arranged in both the Somme and Ypres Salient to cover specialist themes.
