A wonderful day with all sorts of emotions, given the nature of the tour. Very well organized, with timing the key to ensure that Anzac Day ceremonies were met with adequate time to familiarize and for photo opportunities. Bus times etc. were well met also . The tour did indicate that we would be visiting the town of El Hamel, which holds particular significance, both personally, as well as WW1. However, the Tour Director elected to have our lunch break elsewhere, which was disappointing.
