Following on from the success of the Great War
battlefield tours, MDW and JGW will now be
looking at the campaigns of the Second World
War, once again explaining the battles through
the experiences of those Wykehamists who fought
and died in these battles. Based in the town of
Arnhem, we will not only look at the fighting
around the historic bridge and the drop zones, but
also at the role of XXX Corps, and its spearhead
Guards Armoured Division, trying to fight its way
from Lommel through Eindhoven and Nijmegen
to the bridge at Arnhem. Wykehamists served in
1st Airborne and in Guards Armoured Divisions.
Seven lost their lives, three with the Guards and
four with the Paras. It is a battle often characterised
as a ‘heroic disaster’. As ever, we will examine the
facts behind such perceptions.
The trip will be from Tuesday 12th to Friday 15th
May 2020 inclusive. To secure a place, a £50 deposit
per person should be sent to Winchester College
Society.
