Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours is extremely grateful to the museums, memorials and organisations around the world that are keeping the memory of the Anzacs alive. As a way of showing our support, a contribution from each tour booking is donated to several of these, including:
A home from home. A second home. A beacon of peace for soldiers during the First World War. A refuge from the atrocities.
A chance to escape reality. A peaceful, safe haven full of stories. A house where everyone is equal, without distinction of rank or status.
An authentic British soldier’s club. An Every Man’s Club where everyone is welcome. A community. Then and now.
The Last Post, the traditional final salute to the fallen, is played by the buglers of the Last Post Association in honour of the memory of the soldiers of the former British Empire and its allies, who died in the Ypres Salient during the First World War (1914-1918). It is the intention of the Last Post Association to maintain this daily act of homage in perpetuity.

42 for 42 is a not-for-profit organisation which was founded by ex-Army veterans whose aim is to help struggling veterans and their families by building a memorial dedicated to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The 42 stands for the 41 veterans who were killed in Afghanistan, with the 42nd representing the veterans we have lost and continue to lose to suicide, and those who have returned with injuries and mental illness.
(Proceeds from Gary McKay’s book After the Blood Cools were donated.)
