Hi folks...

Join us today (Sunday) as our international team of Jonathan Bratten and Joseph Castle lead you back in time to 1918 for a live Virtual Tour exploring the the world-famous battle for Belleau Wood. Perhaps best known thanks to the involvement of US Marines who reportedly earned to moniker ‘Devil Dogs’ at the action, this tour will examine Belleau and the fighting there in detail - offering a new insight and busting a few longstanding myths along the way.

Employing some exciting new technology and led by a global expert on the subject, this tour will go behind the myths and offer a true insight into the real story of those Franco-American actions on the Western Front.

The tour runs live at 19:30 GMT (14:30 EST) and lasts approximately 75 minutes plus live Q & A, but don’t worry if you can’t make the time, any live tour purchase comes with free access to the On Demand tour which is available 24 hours after the live tour ends.

Some of the Voiceovers in this were provided by members of the FGM... if you watch can you pick them out. :)

The tour costs £9.95 to watch Live 1915hrs GMT to approx 2100hrs GMT or £7.95 On Demand or you can sign up for a year and watch all the battlefield tours currently available... well in excess of 50 and covers topics from Medieval to WW2 with new tours released every week.

Great tour.
Gave me a new understanding of the battle(s) not only of Belleau Wood but of the surrounding hills and towns.
It also put to rest some long standing myths.
Well done (y)

(And I hear you found someone with a Massachusetts accent ;) )
