If you have a family member who served in the armed forces in Europe, My InterRail and Silver Travel Advisor are offering you the opportunity to research their story and head off by train to visit towns or cities and former battlefields that were significant in their lives. 2018 is the centenary of the end of the Great War, so what better way to honour and remember your forebear than tracing their footsteps?
Our lucky winner will win 2 x First Class Global InterRail Passes, £1,000 spending money for costs such as accommodation, 3 months membership to www.ancestry.co.uk so you can discover more of your family history and the opportunity to share their experience with thousands of others. As you travel, you will write a blog to be published on My InterRail website and an article from the blog will be published in The Silver Traveller, Silver Travel Advisor’s magazine.
