“This was the first Battlefield Study I have organised and using Staffride by Battle Honours was pivotal in saving both time and money. Your knowledge of the administrative aspects was a huge help and allowed me to link in with Mike Peters to concentrate on how to deliver a relevant study in line with my SO1s intent. The result was a Battlefield Study that was valuable to us as a training organisation, across the rank range. I would not hesitate to use Staffride in the future.”

This is the third time I have organised a Battle Field Study in conjunction with Battle Honours. They have a long history of working with the military ( the owners and many of the guides have a military background), they speak our language and appreciate the administrative problems often encountered. I would recommend them to any military group considering a battle field study. Without their experience, flexibility and resorcefulness we would never have boarded our plane.

From the outset, Battle Honours Ltd were critical in the selection of a theatre of war that provided sufficient breadth to make the linkages between the modern contingent context with those of the past.  Battle Honours depth of knowledge surrounding the political, strategic, operational and tactical aspects of the Battle of Monte Cassino allowed the Regiment to entirely shape the content of its study to its needs and thereby maximise on the value of its study.  Facilitating access to the national archives to draw out the Regimental aspects of the campaign made a significant difference to the colour and character of our study.  Battle Honours administration was faultless, freeing up time and resources to focus on the content of the study rather than on its moving parts.  Critically, the Battle Honours staff were helpful, insightful and thorough – from planning to execution it was a first class experience and one that I will wish to repeat in the future.

It was a long time coming but now it’s finally over I just wanted to thank you and Mike again for such a great Battlefield Study. The comments I've been receiving from the Soldiers and Staff who came have been nothing but positive and several rather hardened BFS attendees have declared Exercise War Horse as the best they have ever attended!  Virtually everyone has heaped praise on the hotel and the study content, (especially the walking elements allowing a true appreciation of the topography of the area) but without fail everyone has appreciated your enthusiasm, vast knowledge and excellent personal anecdotes.  Thank you.

I am writing personally to thank you for organising the excellent Gallipoli tour this week, and particularly to commend Mike Peters for his exceptional knowledge, professionalism, teaching skills and good humour throughout the trip.


Colonel David Rew - RAMC

 

 

Thank you very much for leading the Staff Ride last week in Gallipoli, I thought it an excellent program, particularly so given the emphasis on approaches by sea and the balance of your historical introductions and discussions. The timing worked perfectly, both on the ground and with a view to the commemorations.

Major General E A Smyth-Osbourne CBE

 

 

On behalf of my unit may I thank you most sincerely for our magnificent tour of the Somme battlefields. The knowledge of your two guides, Clive and Mike, was superb and their imagination and ability to convey information made a lasting impression on all participants. I do not believe the tour could be improved and would be happy to recommend it to anyone who wishes to explore the legacy of The Great War.
