The Western Front Association will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the British Expeditionary Force being sent to France in 1914.
A series of events from August 10-13, involving motorbikes, a horse-drawn wagon, vehicles and aircraft, will take place to remember the deployment of the first units by land, sea and air in August 1914.
The commemorative journeys start from the Poppy Factory in Richmond, Surrey, and Netheravon airfield in Wiltshire.
After crossing the Channel to the French port of Calais, they culminate on August 13 with a service of remembrance at the Faubourg d’Amiens Cemetery in Arras.
