Any info on McCraes official trip for next year or best time to visit an making own travel plans, really need to do this soon

 

Was there in April during a Leger WWI battlefields tour, it wasn't part of the tour, however I mentioned McCraes battalion to the tour guide the night before we were going to the Somme, told him I was a Hearts fan and the next day he instructed the driver to take the coach to Contalmaison just so as I could pay my respects, the tour guide then proceeded to tell the whole coach the story of McCraes battalion and Heart of Midlothian, chuffed to bits and immensely proud of my club I was.

Watch the McCrae’s Battalion website and FB page for details.

Went there last Thursday. Took my son and 2 Hibs friends. We toured Ypres and the Somme area after the Belgium Scotland game.  Highly recommended.

I put some maroon and white flowers beside the Cairn.
