The Midsomer Norton Society is looking to arrange a four-day visit to France for Saturday, 23rd – Tuesday, 26th May 2015, to visit the Western Front and, in particular, the graves of the men from the town who fell in the Great War and would like to hear from anyone who is interested in joining the tour. Overall, the aim is for a small group to visit France and bring back audio and video footage, which will form the basis of an evening in the Town Hall – recapping on the Society's detailed research of where each soldier lived in Midsomer Norton. In addition, the Society hopes to create an educational resource for local children to relate to the Great War.

As well as encouraging families and friends of the fallen to either attend or take part by providing readings and poems to be read at the gravesides, the Society is also keen, where possible, for

parent(s) to bring a child in order to get intergenerational involvement.

There will be a pre-tour Presentation Evening on Thursday, 21st May 2015, open to the whole town to launch the project. Those attending will also be able to get an overview of the tour. As part of this evening, there will be a short ceremony at the graveyard in Church Lane as the first visit in the tour.

The Society has twenty places available on a first come, first served basis – with a booking secured with a £50 deposit and a completed booking form. The Society has negotiated an excellent package from a local supplier, with many years' experience in

organising battlefield tours.
