About Tours and Research for Relatives

About my Battlefield tours Owing my great and invaluable knowledge, from my life experience study  and dedication I’m able to lead you on every places  where the American Divisions fought in the World War in France from Belleau Wood through Chateau Thierry, The Aisne Marne offensive July 1918,  Soissons, Fere en Tardenois area , the Ourcq river , The Vesle River, Fismes, the Champagne, and the Argonne Forest (Lost Battalion and Sergeant York…etc. )  and Verdun areas !!

My tours cover mostly the participation of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th 26th, 28th, 32nd, 36th, 42nd and 77th American Divisions, but much more units on request!

Using photos, of the Battlefield ground, trenches, dugouts, bunkers, material etc. taken during and after the battle’s accounts of units and personal testimonies of Soldiers you will experience really the battle and American participation and as well German.

I also do general tours, and battles studies for these who don’t have a relative participating in the battles!

Tours are fully personalized for relatives!

This is really an amazing walk on the Foot Steps of specific unit of Marines or Army Doughboys, to visit the places where was your relative and his company , battalion, or regiment during the battle and to learn about their heroic deeds and individual participation , it is also a great way to honor them and to keep their memory alive !

I’ve led tours for more than 4000 Marines including five Commandants of the US Marines, active or retired, lot of American Soldiers and Marines relatives including Theodore Roosevelt family and President Dwight Eisenhower Grandson, West Point Cadets, etc.! National Guard units…!

So if you are interested in these battlefields don’t hesitate to send me a message, or also if you want to walk on the Foot Steps of your relative!
