This November 2014 Connection Tours is proud to present you with a once in a lifetime opportunity to

take part in an event of historic proportions. In August of 1914, the world was plunged into a conflict of
nations that would result in four long and bloody years of fighting that took the lives of tens of millions, both
military and civilian. The War to end all Wars as it was later termed, would reach an armistice on November
11
th
, 1918, what Canada, and the rest Commonwealth now recognize as Remembrance Day.
Since 1995 Connection Tours has offered tours to the battlefields, cemeteries, monuments and many
other historic locations of Europe that are associated with World War One. Over the years our customers have
made us the top choice when selecting a Battlefield Tour Operator. No other experience can rival actually
walking in the footsteps of the generations before us. Our tour guides share the personal stories of those who
experienced war firsthand, which help to bring the hard realities of war to life for tour participants. It has been
our passion for over 20 years! Let our knowledgeable and expert guides take you on this life changing journey
that many veterans, their families and thousands of others have experienced. Stand on Canadas National
WW1 memorial at Vimy Ridge overlooking the battlefield in which it has been said a Nation was born, view
the war torn landscape of Passchendaele, Beaumont Hamel and Hill 62, and witness the Menin Gate Last
Post ceremony on Remembrance Day in Ypres, Belgium honoring all those who fell and are missing in the
defence of their country. In addition you will see historically significant WW2 locations such as Juno Beach,
Canadas assigned Normandy invasion piece of coastline, Pegasus Bridge and the Cafe Gondree, the first
house liberated on D-Day in France, the tragic rocky shores of Dieppe and much more! The 10 day tour will
conclude in the Netherlands, this grateful country continues to honor Canada and our other allies who fought
beside us that gave back freedom to its people. We will explore its beautiful countryside and the actions and
sacrifices our country took to break the occupation its people suffered so greatly under.
Join us this November to reflect back on and honor the loss of so many young lives that provided us with the
freedom we enjoy to this day. This memorable tour is a guaranteed departure and promises to offer you the
