Gunner Tours has been set up to provide battlefield guides and subject matter experts with Gunner expertise to inform visits to Battlefields. The role of artillery and the experience of gunners is not well understood by the general public, Nor do many battlefield guides have the expert knowledge to explain gunnery matters ..
Even in the serving army, many gunners are unaware of the part their predecessors played other than, perhaps, the battle which gave them a battle honour. As we approach the centenary of the Great War .many people with family or service connections deserve to have the chance to hear the Gunner side of the story..
