Wenches in Trenches Sponsored Walk · 21 October 2011
This October myself along with a group of loyal female supporters are doing a 21 mile sponsored walk in the Somme region of France entitled ‘Wenches in Trenches’. Following the frontline held by British troops in World War I,the walk starts in the town of Albert and the ladies will call at British cemeteries and memorials along the route to lay poppy crosses and honour our heroes from that era. Over half of the walkers are ladies from army camps in Germany who want to do something worthwhile for the charity. The walk will be led by new Forces Sweetheart drag artiste Miss Cookie Monstar who will not only lead the walkers but also provide entertainment in the evening as we camp army style on the Somme.
By walking this route,the ladies are truly bringing history to life. Many of the walkers are wives and mothers of serving soldiers some injured or killed in the current conflict,so please support this wonderful walk and this amazing charity.
