Gary Weight works as a battlefield guide, historian, writer and researcher.I established Pegasus Tours in 2006 after working as a military historian on various European Tours in the 1990's.At first my emphasis was solely on Normandy but I now spend an ever increasing amount of time conducting tours across the battlefields of Belgium, Holland and Germany.I also greatly enjoy the process of researching family connections and have conducted a good number of tours that retrace the footsteps of particular units from the Normandy beaches all the way into Germany. Whether it is the American, Canadian, British, German or Polish units and actions, I have an equally deep knowledge and have met and interviewed many veterans so therefore have many first hand accounts to pass on within the tours.I use an assortment of maps, photographs and personal accounts to 'bring alive' the tours.During the winter months I also lecture at various establishments, mainly in the UK, on the events in Normandy and Holland during 1944.
