"at the beginning of the war, when someone was killed - no matter whether we knew him personally - we felt it deeply,we went to look. But when we became hardened,we didn't even change direction when he was lying in front of us. We became hard". (Jules Leroy)

Gerald Ellis was Head of History at a Grammar School in Manchester and organised numerous trips to the Western Front - his specialist area.

Many of his friends encouraged him to pursue this interest and suggested that he should start taking out tours for family groups and parties of friends and colleagues aswell. As a result Entente Cordiale Battlefield Tours was formed in 2007 with the help of his great friend Colin Whithead.

Colin has run many successful enterprises for 20 years, and when the opportunity arose to pursue his own interest in the Great War he jumped at the chance to work with Gerald.

The business has been performing well inspite of the Credit Crunch because of the highly personalised scope of our tours.  

Together Gerald & Colin will put together for your party an experience never to be forgotten!
