At the Chase High School the history department organised a trip to Belgium to research World War 1.

We stayed in Belgium for five days and four nights.

My highlights of the trip were going to the Menin gate in Ypres and listening to The Last Post, which is played every night at exactly 8pm.

Another of my highlights of the trip was visiting Tyne Cot cemetery, because Worcestershire and Malvern men were buried there.

My favourite place we went to was Thiepval memorial, because of its size and all the dead people's names it has on it - it commemorates the battlefields of the Somme.

It is my favourite site to visit because it represents over 73,000 British and South African soldiers with no known grave, who were killed between July 1916 and March 1918.
