Together with Guide Gil we left Deerlijk with a van with 8 friends to the front of the Somme (’14-’18).
The expert explanation on the spot, combined with the photos, the maps and videos from this time (!), the many stories and anecdotes gave us (new) insights about life on the battle line.
The programme was particularly varied and instructive, the stories about the conditions on the front line caught our throats. Gil not only has a very broad knowledge of World War 1, he BREATHES World War 1.
He talks about this period with such passion that he takes everyone into the story. So don't expect a classic tourist tour, this is so much more! Highly recommended.

September 21 a beautiful and sunny day to make a nice trip with Gil and the rest through and around Ploegsteert bos. We started at the lions of the memorial through a meadow to the forest that is very interesting with hidden treasures and memories including a bunker, small beautiful cemeteries with real stories that Gil tells fascinatingly, after a climb also the monument of the football match during the Christmas Truce of 1914...a very interesting walk that we ended at the memorial. Also interesting for us because our adoptive soldiers are here .1 thing I never forget the blue violets...Thanks Gil.
Greetings Sophie D.

Together with a group of other World War 1 interested parties we were allowed to be guinea pigs for Gil's new tour: 'Walk in Plugstreet wood', a journey of +- 8 km through the woods of Ploegsteert peppered with fascinating stories from more than 100 years ago. And even though it was more like a 100 years ago, it still felt completely alive when you heard Gil tell it. Especially the personal stories and details make the trip really an added value and on top of that you make a beautiful walk through the forest with here and there a remnant of World War 1 that you might otherwise overlook yourself. I can only decide that the walk will have a rightful place in the Gil's regular assortment of WW1 guide tours.

Very interesting stories heard and forgotten battlefield locations visited, super rewarding, Gilles tells the stories captivatingly and provides them with the necessary images and music. An absolute must and not only for those interested in WW I, my girlfriend also found the trip more than worthwhile!

My husband and myself have recently returned to N Ireland from a visit to WW1 Battlefields in France and Belgium. My grandfather served with 36th Ulster Division Royal Inniskillings and was killed in the final days of WW1. I was able to obtain details about Harlebecke New British Cemetery, where he is buried.
We checked a few local companies who offered WW1 Battlefield tours and found one using a hotel in Mouscron, not too far from this cemetery. Unfortunately Harlebecke was not included in their itinerary, however after making a few more enquiries we decided that we would use local taxis to get to and from the cemetery.
While still doing some research I found a video of a tour conducted by a Belgium guide (Gil Bossuyt), who organises Battlefield tours and Harlebecke cemetery featured in the video. During the video Gil talked about 9 British soldiers who were killed and buried at the end of his street. These soldiers were later moved to Harlebecke cemetery. The soldiers names are listed on his website and I was very surprised to find that my grandfather’s name was one of the 9. Through his research Gil had details of 2 of the 9, but not my grandfather.
I contacted Gil and asked if it would be possible to join with one of his tours when we visited. He responded and offered to pick us up from our hotel and give us a personal tour around what would have been the places where my grandfather’s regiment fought in the final days of the war. The cost of the tour was no more than we would have had to pay the taxi for the 30 mile round trip, so we kept in contact with Gil in the run up to our visit.
As arranged Gil picked us up at the hotel and our first stop was the River Lys where 36th Ulster Division made their final crossing on their way to liberate the town of Desselgem. We we able to see the memorial stone which is beside the river, to honour the men who lost their lives between 19th & 27th October 1918.
The 9 soldiers which included my grandfather, lost their lives on 20th October 1918 and were buried where they fell. This happened to be only a few hundred feet from where Gil lives today. These soldiers were moved to Harlebecke cemetery a few years later.
Gil took us to his street and we stood at the exact spot where the 9 soldiers died. Gil explained that a local priest had documented alot of what was happening in the area at that time and had recorded the names of the 9 soldiers and their service numbers.
We then moved on to Harlebecke cemetery, where we were able to leave a small tribute at the graveside.
Gil had copied maps for us, to show the areas that the soldiers covered and gave us some other information about my grandfather.
After we finished the tour, Gil drove us back to Ypres, where we were able to rejoin our coach party.
When we first began to think about this trip I had no idea how things would work out. Originally I would have been happy to visit the cemetery and leave the tribute , however our morning with Gol was much more than we imagined and we have come home with so much more information and an understanding of these final days of the war.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Gil to anyone considering a visit to WW1 Battlefields either independently or part of a group. (particularly those whose loved ones were lost around the Ypres region). Gil’s knowledge is second to none and he will do his best to personalise the tour as much as possible.
Thank you Gil for a most memorable experience.
