The site Author, Steve Williams, first trip to a battlefield was in 1992 taking his father back to the Dunkirk beaches in France – 52 years on. It was another ten years before he visited the Ypres Salient battlefield in search of graves of Brindlers who died in the First World War. Since then he has visited WW1 and WW2 battlefields in France, Belgium and Turkey on numerous occasions.
