TrooperKerry Posted 23 May , 2017 Share Posted 23 May , 2017 Why is the Beersheba anniversary not being commemorated by us? The Anzacs are leading the event. No tours from the UK or does anyone know of one? http://www.dva.gov.au/commemorations-memorials-and-war-graves/commemorations-and-anniversaries/overseas-commemorations-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Davies Posted 23 May , 2017 Share Posted 23 May , 2017 I know of UK tours that will be out there for the centenary and one that will be out there the week after. (I'm leading the latter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperKerry Posted 23 May , 2017 Author Share Posted 23 May , 2017 Hi Gareth, Thanks for the reply. I know that Leger are doing a tour but was hoping that we could get a Yeomanry group up as I want to attend the memorial event on 31st Oct. Does that fit in with any of the other tours? Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Davies Posted 23 May , 2017 Share Posted 23 May , 2017 My tour will cover a good number of the Yeomanry actions, I don't think any other tours will be doing that. We are deliberately going the first week of November in order to avoid the crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 24 May , 2017 Share Posted 24 May , 2017 7 hours ago, Gareth Davies said: We are deliberately going the first week of November in order to avoid the crowds. That's probably a very good idea Gareth. At Anzac Day in April, the Australian ambassador was already talking about 4-5,000 applications at that stage and with two Prime Ministers present, then the security checks will be very long and tiresome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperKerry Posted 26 May , 2017 Author Share Posted 26 May , 2017 Hi Gareth, I am booked for the Nov dates which is a shame. Will discuss the situation with my lot next week & pm you if there is interest. Thanks Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
