Big Fat Wholesaler Wrap
Visit. Understand. Never Forget
This is the theme and thought behind Tempo Holidays battlefield tours. Visit the battlefields of the ANZACS on the Western front; understand the struggle, sacrifice and history making events that helped define future generations; never forget the fallen and the survivors – all brought to life in a personal emotional experience that is sure to leave an enduring memory.
During the war to end all wars, the Western Front became a place of mud, misery and misfortune. 295,000 Australians partook in the war, 46,000 were killed and 132,000 were wounded. These numbers are a great misfortune of Australian history.
These lives were lost scattered over Belgium and France. Such tours that will be discussed allow visitors to understand the sacrifice, pay tribute and mourn the passing of those before us.
