Fourth Form Visit WW1 Battlefields

During the final week of the term 44 Fourth Form pupils and five teachers visited the First World War Battlefields of Ypres and the Somme. We managed to pack in visits to the Flanders Museum in Ypres, Vimy Ridge and a preserved trench in the town of Albert, to name but a few. There were links, also, to the experiences of Old Cranleighans, with the pupils reading poems and laying a wreath at St George’s Chapel, the site of the School memorial plaque in Ypres, as well as at Tyne Cot cemetery. The two days were thoroughly enjoyable and the trip will, we hope, be repeated next year.
