Ian Gumm at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, France. |
Major Ian R Gumm"I am a British Army Major, professional battlefield guide and member of the Guild of Battlefield Guides. As a Guild member I endeavour to maintain the high levels of good practice and standard of service commensurate with the Guild's ethos.
It is my aim to provide you with a battlefield tour that is a truly unique experience and will leave you with memories that last forever. |
Battlefield tours are my passion, they are what I love to do and I feel extremely privileged to be able to take people to the battlefields of Northwest Europe "following in the footsteps" of an ancestor or relative on a genealogy tour, retracing the steps of a military unit or formation on a bespoke tour, or guiding them around some of the most important historical sites that have shaped the world in which we live on a personalised tour."
Ian has led tours for nearly ten years and visited the battlefields at: Ypres - Waterloo - the D-Day Beaches of Normandy - Passchendaele - the Somme - US Airborne sites of Operation Market Garden and the British Airborne at Arnhem - US Airborne and British Airborne sites of Normandy - Vimy Ridge - Messines Ridge - Agincout - Cambrai ... and many more. Let Ian take you on a journey of discovery where his experience and expertise will being the battlefield to life and give you an impression of what the officers and men who fought there endured.
