🇺🇸 Honoring HISTORY IN STADEN: A LEGACY CONTINUES IN 2026! 🇧🇪
History isn't just found in books; it’s kept alive through the footsteps we take on the very ground where it happened.
I am thrilled to announce that for 2026, I will once again be welcoming my American guests back to the historic soil of Staden. It is a profound honor to see these families and history enthusiasts rebook their journeys with me, trusting my expertise to bridge the gap between the past and the present.
As a Qualified Battlefield Guide, there is nothing quite like standing together at the 'Track to Infinity' monument. Here, at the foot of the Stadenberg, we remember the brave soldiers of Evacuation Hospital No. 5 and the 103 Americans who gave their lives in late 1918.
Why book a tour with me this year?
* Deep Local Knowledge: Go beyond the standard plaques to discover the hidden stories of the nurses, doctors, and soldiers who transformed this landscape.
* Personalized Experience: Every tour is tailored to the interests (and often the family history) of my guests.
* Authentic Connections: Experience the warm Belgian hospitality and the enduring bond between Flanders and the United States.
Whether you are tracing the steps of an ancestor or seeking to understand the final months of the Great War, I invite you to join me in putting Staden back on the map of remembrance.
Let’s make 2026 a year of unforgettable stories and meaningful tributes.
Lest we forget.
