WW1 battlefield tour ephemera - 1929

            This is an original map, excursions leaflet, and tickets for a WW1 Yser battlefield tour that took place on 18 Aug 1929. The tour organisers are 'The British Touring Cars (Excursions by Luxurious Motor Cars)'. Being just 11 years after the end of WW1 many people went on a sort of pilgrimage to the battlefields where their loved ones had died to try in some small way to come to terms with the loss.

Itinerary - Ostende, Middelkerke, Niuupoirt, Ramscapelle, Pervyse, Dixmude, canal de l'Yser, Woumen, Chateau Blankaert, Steenstraete, Boesinghe, Ypres (lunch), return by Hill (Hell?) Fire Corner, Hill 60, St-Jean, St-Julien, Poelcapelle, Foret d'Houthulst, Houthulst, Dixmude, Beerst, Couckelaere, Moere, big gun, Leffinghe, Ostend.

If there are any errors in the above please let me know. Thanks.
