Immerse yourself in the history of our ancestors on a 100km walk through the frontlines of World War I – from the Battle of the Somme to Menin Gate. Taking place 7th- 11th October 2026.
About the Frontline Walk
Blesma is teaming up with the Army Benevolent Fund Setting off from Lochnagar Crater where the Battle of the Somme began, explore key sites from the Battles of Ypres and Arras and visit memorial grounds honouring the soldiers who fought over 100 years ago.
