I am pleased to announce (again) Knee Deep Into History’s 2023 Tour Schedule. In addition to our standard tours, we have two special offerings this year: A 102nd Inf. Regt. and Yankee Division tour timed to coincided with memorial ceremonies in Seicheprey, France and an Ardennes / Battle of the Bulge Tour that will have world-renowned collector and historian Roland Gaul join us for one day! Both of these are unique offerings, so give them your full consideration.
Our standard tours will include three WW1-themed tours: Meuse-Argonne and St. Mihiel, Flanders Fields and the Somme, and Verdun; as well as two WW2-themed tours: Ardennes and Normandy. You can find links to descriptive pages and tour brochures below.
We have also set aside days for private tours, as shown below.
Let us know if you have any questions, tour ideas or comments. Send your emails to Randy Gaulke at kneedeepintohistory@gmail.com.

Private Tours for Your Family or Group—College, Veterans Association, etc.
Do you have a relative who fought in WW1 or WW2 and in whose footsteps you would like to walk? Are you part of an association interested in military history? Setting up a tour is a major logistical exercise. We are happy to work with you to set up a meaningful private tour for your family or group. We can arrange tours for most budget, interest and physical ability levels. We can also build the tour as a fundraiser, where a certain portion of each participant’s payment is donated to your organization! (That is what we structured with The Connecticut Heritage Foundation’s 102nd Inf. Regt. / Yankee Division tour.)
Please contact Randy to start the discussion at kneedeepintohistory@gmail.com or 908.451.0252.
If the above dates don’t work for your group, reach out to Randy regarding his or Markus’ availability.
