Experts in guiding tours for the military

Anglia has twenty five years' experience of delivering high quality Battlefield Studies for the Military.

We are providers of the Realities of War package for the Initial Training Group, delivering an extra dimension to training for adult recruits and junior soldiers, driving home the relevance of the Core Values to service life.

Our guide team will deliver an extra dimension to supplement classroom-based learning, helping to drive home the ethos of service and the relevance of core values to a life in uniform.

  • Courage - Thought-provoking stories of heroism, physical and moral courage
  • Self commitment - Personal stories providing a deeper comprehension of the necessary sacrifices of service, and the benefits both to society and the individual
  • Respect - An opportunity to broaden understanding of other cultures and their contribution to British values, both past and present.
  • Integrity - Site visits designed to provoke discussion on more complex aspects of service and the morality behind them
  • Innovation - Exploring the methods by which creativity and teamwork allowed the army medical services to save lives day by day
  • Overcoming Adversity - Real-life examples of how exemplary leadership developed over time, allowed ordinary individuals to overcome trying circumstances

Maximising your training delivery and required outcomes

Our commitment is to facilitate training that not only meets unit or headquarters’ training aims but is conducted in a manner appropriate to the group.

To achieve this the package must be workable on the ground, financially viable and above all, a positive and enjoyable learning experience for the participants.

  • The first step for our mainly ex-Service staff is to discuss with the project officer the training outcomes that the commander wishes from the study.
  • From there we work with project officers to produce workable itineraries, administrative plans, materials required by, for instance, the Army’s AGAI 23 and the supporting training aids.
  • On the ground during the study or staff ride our guides deliver the historical content and take on the administrative burden, maximising the numbers able to focus on training delivery and outcomes.
