Cecil Graf is an amazing guide and translator.  I am from Ohio.  My cousin and I went to France to track down the village where my grandfather a US artillery officer fired the last shot at the Germans near the very small village of Vittarville,     France about 18 miles North of Verdun.  I have attached the photo of the event.  The Mayor of Vittarville is reading from the shell casing to the village residents. Cecil arranged with the Mayor of the village to let us place a French flag at their memorial.  We had the shell casing with us iwth the oordinates of the firing at the village of Vittariville which was occupied by the Germans.  Because of Cecil help with the Mayor and the village residents, we were treated like royalty.  It was a most amazing day.  Cecil took us to Verdun, Doumond, Voquis and others.  He is the best.  We had a big reception and lunch with the Mayor and wife and he translated everything with skill and kindness.  He is working on a presention for Americans, regarding Sgt  York. It is near Verdun.  He is the best!

We had a full day from am 0830 to pm 6. In rain, but still verry god and interesting. 

We had an amazing tour this week with Cecil! Booking and communication ahead of time was excellent. Cecil worked with us to tailor our tour based on limited time and our interests. He researched and found a tiny obscure memorial dedicated to my husband's great grandfather's division, which we especially appreciated given that we gave very late notice on that (our fault- we're slackers). His recommendations for what to see were spot-on. I was especially moved by our visit to Vauquois, and my husband was especially moved by the Meusse-Argonne American Cemetery. The entire day was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, and we highly recommend booking a tour with Cecil.

We had such an amazing day with Cecil!  He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area.  My husband is a huge history buff and Cecil was able to add many new layers to my husbands knowledge.  He also made it very interesting for me.  Highly recommend him, and when we come back will use him again!

Cecil  accomodated us on our search for a Grandfather who was not brought home.  He answered our questions and was very helpful and resourceful. Thank you Cecil for a beautiful day.
