This morning we will attend the Tanks in Town event on the outskirts of Mons where WW2 Tanks and vehicles are on display, many of them still operational. After lunch, we depart for the Ardennes Battlefields and look at the ‘Battle of the Bulge’. We start at the British Cemetery at Hotton and then go to Foy and look at the story of Easy Company – the ‘Band of Brothers’ – during the fighting here in 1944. We then visit the Bastogne War Museum and see the Mardasson Memorial. We stay in Bastogne, with free-time for an evening meal, before returning to our hotel in Mons.
