A comprehensive Battlefield Tour of Singapore Island and Malaya - culminating in a service at Kranji War Memorial on the 15th of February, 2011 (the day that Singapore fell).There are limited spots and the conduct of the Tour is dependant on numbers, so please email us for further information. All of the relevant sites will be visited and you will not find a more thorough examination of the Malayan campaign. All budgets will be catered for and Medals Gone Missing will be working closely with the Tour Companies "KOKODA HISTORICAL" and "KOMPLETE KOKODA" to show you the relevance of this campaign, to other actions which occurred as a result of the loss of Singapore. Please email us if you are interested in this expedition.
Do you wish to walk the Kokoda Trail and not be in a rush? Walk in the footsteps of heroes and spend time trekking the Kokoda Trail at a "Historian's pace". This trek is the ultimate battlefield tour - if you would like to learn the history (not just walk the track). Soc KIENZLE, son of a Kokoda Heroe (Bert Kienzle) will take you on a memorable journey across the Kokoda Track, culminating on a very sombre yet uplifting service at Bomana War Cemetary. He will be assisted by the team from Kokoda Historical and show us things that other groups just do not visit. What Soc does not know about the Kokoda Trail, is simply not worth knowing. For further inquiries, please contact Soc or Robyn Kienzle through their website or on their toll free number. Hurry, positions are limited. http://kompletekokoda.com.au/
Have you ever wanted to walk the Gallipoli battlefields (without the rushed itinerary of the standard 'bus tour')currently being offered by other Tour Companies? Are you fascinated by the Gallipoli campaign and wish to walk in the footsteps of the men who fought the battles? Have you ever wanted to come ashore at Anzac Cove by boat, in the early dawn? If you are interested in the most comprehensive walking battlefield tour of the ANZAC area - please contact the Medals Gone Missing Administrator for further details. This Battlefield Tour caters for the complete Anzac experience, taking in the areas occupied by Australian & New Zealand Troops, including (the failed attack by the 11th Battalion) at Gaba Tepe through to Hill 60 - and up to Chunuk Bair with the New Zealanders. We will also charter a boat to include a landing at Ari Burnu. Timed to commence just after Anzac Day...so participants can attend the 2011 Anzac Day Service. You will walk away with a better understanding of the Gallipoli Campaign as experienced by the ANZACS.
