Regularly participating in taking school groups out to the battlefields of the Western Front. To take a group of kids and engage them on a cold wet day is a challenge in itself. It is a job that is a passion. To see a child inspired is an inspiration in itself and to ensure that the sacrifices made for the freedom we have today is never forgotten is job satisfaction.
