The Inspiration for The Western Front Way
Our inspiration for the Western Front Way comes from a letter home from the front, written in 1915 by a young 2nd Lt in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Alexander Douglas Gillespie. So moved by the horrors of war that he witnessed, Gillespie wrote:
“when peace comes, our government might combine with the French government to make one long avenue between the lines from the Vosges to the sea….I would make a fine broad road in the ‘No Mans Land’ between the lines, with paths for pilgrims on foot and plant trees for shade and fruit trees, so that the soil should not altogether be waste… we might make the most beautiful road in all the world.”
Walk with us to make that vision a reality.
