"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 and guiding them around some of the most important historical sites that have shaped the world in which we live on a tailor-made tour." |
Ian has served in the British Forces with the Territorial Army for over thirty years. He is a serving Major in the Royal Welsh and had the privilege of commanding B (Rorke's Drift) Company of the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Wales as well as serving as the Training Major for Wales University Officer Training Corps. The experience he has gained with the British Army allows him to add a soldier's perspective in his guiding profession.
