Story

To commemorate the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme and support the soldiers of today I am Marching with The Soldiers’ Charity on the Frontline Walk.

The Soldiers’ Charity Frontline Walk will provide a unique and poignant challenge walking along 100km of the Western Front, starting at the Lochnagar Crater, created by an explosion at 07:28 on the 1st July 1916 – signalling the start of the Battle of the Somme. The Walk finishes at the Menin Gate with the Ceremony of the Last Post.

I am walking in memory of those Field Sports Employees; Hunt staff, Game keepers, and Gillies plus the many Field Sport enthusiasts who were injured or gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 

100 years on we still remember them. 

Please donate and help the ABF Soldier's Charity continue it's work giving a lifetime of support to soldiers and former soldiers from the British Army, and their immediate families, when they are in need.
