This is the badge of a qualified Battlefield Guide My Badge number is 34

I thought I would start by introducing you to some passionate  military historians and battlefield guides who can spend weeks, if not months, of each year walking and guiding interested people across the battlefield sites of the world.  I was invited to join the Guild after having worked in association with a fellow member.  We were touring the Western Front with a Battlefield Study Group from ADFA – RMC (Australian Defence Force Academy – Royal Military College Duntroon Canberra) when I was invited to consider membership. Why may you ask ? Well it’s as simple as being tested and put through the hoops, and being qualified by your peers,  proving to yourself  you know what you’re talking about and can deliver it in the field to clients in a way that brings the battlefield alive, they feel it, touch it and can even smell the battles of old.  Many people visit battlefields for varying reasons – general interest,  to study history in the raw, or follow in their relatives’ foot steps.  What’s important is to do it with a professional battlefields guide.  The Guild’s website tells the complete story:  gbg-international.com   Cheers, Dennis – Old Sea Dog Weathers
