To know about the past is to open the doors to history and so to learn more about ourselves. To visit the old battlegrounds with Spirit of Remembrance is to make these discoveries with people who share our values and our passion for truth.  For veterans it can mean closure with their youth – a youth in which the burden of heavy responsibility – of life and death - was placed on the shoulders of what were essentially still boys and girls.  For their relatives and families to make a visit to Normandy, Italy, Gallipoli, Africa or the Far East is to gain an insight into this strange, terrifying and sometimes ennobling world that they lived and fought through.
