Was een mooi en bijzondere #Battlefieldtour #Somme #Frankrijk
Voor de tour van aanstaande vrijdag met een Amerikaanse familie was ik naarstig op zoek naar de exacte locatie waar hun vader zat. Struikel ik toch ineens over een kaart met de exacte positie! 😍 -woop woop-

Het was weer een prachtige, lange dag. Met goed weer,
enthousiaste gasten én een kapotte knie. #battlefieldtour

Yesterday’s private tour in the Footsteps of Easy Company 506 in NL was a huge success. The client from Connecticut, US got into ww2 history through the series and wanted to visit the historical sites. Yesterday, the Netherlands was on the list.

The Bois Jacques and former #easycompany positions we visited on the @wwiimuseum.bsky.social Easy Company Tour yesterday, the day after #USMemorialDay
The US flags dotting the area and positions created an extra and humbling dimension to our visit.

Today’s visit to the Netherlands American Cemetery and our ceremony at on of the #easycompany graves on our @wwiimuseum Easy Company Tour was extra impressive and poignant, coinciding with #usmemorialday

Still patches of snow around and a bit chilly. As always, a visit of the Eagles Nest is always stunning and a fitting Grande Finale of this episode of @WWIImuseum #easycompanytour

Our visit to Luxembourg American Cemetery yesterday on the @WWIImuseum #easycompany tour included a wreath laying at John Julian’s grave. One of 5 Easy Coy men buried there.

The Easy Company memorial at Bois Jacques, visited during our @wwiimuseum.bsky.social #easycompany tour. It is always interesting to point out that all fatalities of Easy, apart from John Julian, occurred in Jan 1945 during so called ‘offensive phase’.

The grave of Cpl William Dukeman, one of the #easycompany originals, killed in action 5 Oct 1944 at the Crossroads on The Island, 23 years old. Visited today on @wwiimuseum.bsky.social #easycompany tour. #bandofbrothers #ww2travel #battlefieldtour
Unknown to him he had been recommended the #MOH for actions in Normandy a few months earlier. His wife would receive the medal posthumously.

A few pics of today’s @wwiimuseum.bsky.social #easycompany tour on Op Market Garden. Apart from visiting places where Easy Company was, we also visited the sites of several other pivotal actions of this ill-fated operation. #bandofbrothers #ww2travel #battlefieldtour
Two coaches on this @wwiimuseum.bsky.social #easycompany tour. Together with @bfxpl.bsky.social we are ready to go and explore Op Market Garden and Easy’s role in it today. #ww2travel #battlefieldtour #bandofbrothers
A few photos of our visit to Concentration Camp Dachau Memorial Site on our @wwiimuseum.bsky.social #easycompany tour. Opened in 22-3-1933 and liberated on 29-4-1945, Dachau existed practically during the whole Nazi period. An important place to visit.

On our route from Eindhoven to the Ardennes on the NWW2M #EasyCompany Tour we always stop at the NL US Cemetery in Margraten where 5 Easy Company men are buried. This tour, we laid a wreath at the grave of Robert Van Klinken (24), KIA Nuenen 20 Sept 1944.

Battle anniversaries this week: iSandlwana, Rorke's Drift & Spionkop. We were there last week & there will be much more to come from me. Here at iSandlwana the British suffered a huge defeat against a Zulu army. The cairns mark mass British graves. #zulu #battlefieldtour #kwazulunatal #southafrica
Two times the Kall Trail. One photo after the battle of Nov 1944. The other photo was taken during yesterday’s Hürtgen Forest Tour, guiding a group of Dutch clients 80 years & 8 days after US 112th regiment withdrew back across the Kall.
