Mike Scott leads a group of driver/guides and researchers who will be able to develop your family history and create the perfect personal tour
In the 20th Century few families in Europe and North America were untouched by the impact of the two World Wars.  In Europe the lines of white headstones in military cemeteries tell the sad tale of sacrifice.  However conflict has many facets and not all of it is grim - the children and grandchildren of the GI brides who left the United Kingdom for a new life in the USA are discovering their British roots and also the ETO – European Theater of Operations in which their ancestors served.
For British, Commonwealth and Allied families a personal tour can be journey of discovery.  Spirit of Remembrance will take the traveller across the country and back through time until they meet the young man or woman who went to war 70 or almost 100 years ago and learn about his life and the conflict in which he or she played a part.
Arthur Lawrence (seen right) is now 97 years old and living in Kent, a veteran of the famous "Forgotten Army" who fought in Burma.  Arthur talks with his great niece Melody Foreman of his experiences in October edition of
 TN24.  Detailed below is a photo of Arthur and his friends - are you related to them?
