Learn why a private tour is essential to reconcile modern landscapes with 1944 history, featuring personal stories, family heritage tracing, and expert navigation of the Normandy battlefields.

We follow the footsteps of an officier of the 12th Infantry Regiment in Normandy with his relatives.

This Then and Now photograph was taken in Rauray, a small village south-west of Caen, Normandy. Beginning on June 26, 1944, Rauray became the scene of heavy fighting during Operation Epsom, part of the British advance following the D-Day landings.

Tracing a relative's D-Day story starts with four key details: service number, unit, discharge papers, and WIA records. Learn how to gather these before your Normandy tour.
