Major and Mrs Holt founded the first organisation to offer battlefield tours to the general public in the late 1970s. Since the 1990s they have been writing their series of guide books, incorporating all that they have learned from their experiences conducting thousands of people around battlefields. This series, designed to serve as companions for travellers, whether sitting at home or physically visiting the battlefields, includes detailed travel directions, military history, fascinating anecdotes and tourist information. The Holts share the writing of their books equally and conduct all their own research, spending many weeks on the ground as they prepare each new book or update previously published titles.

The best selling, exceptionally well detailed and superbly illustrated Holt’s series of Battlefield Guides needs little if any introduction to the vast majority of Family History Researchers, Battlefield Guides/Tourists, Military Historians and other “enthusiasts” who visit the battlefields of Europe and Gallipoli each year, as they are without a doubt the best “companions” anyone travelling to these fascinating areas can take with them. The authors, Tonie and Valmai Holt, operated their first ever guided tour to the trenches and historical sites of France and Flanders in June 1977 and the growth in this interesting area of tourism over the years, can genuinely be attributed to the publication of the now World famous Major and Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guides. Each splendid volume in the series, which includes Ypres, The Somme, Gallipoli, Normandy Landings and Operation Market Garden, is packed full of fascinating information, where historical fact is coupled with informed opinion..
