    Went there earlier this year. The museum is great and Arnhem itself is a lovely place.

    The BBC have written about two soldiers who took part in Market Garden, who were recently identified and reburied. As it happens two of our friends have attended the service that took part today. Here is the link to the article.

    No we was outside the perimeter, but got a good spot. The standing ovation to the KOSB Soldier when he walk down to lay a wreath was very moving. There can't be many survivors left. I couldn't post it on here as the file was too big.

    In the field just beyond the church the white line went to the Rhine. 
    80 years ago tonight 25/26 Sept 1944 the final withdrawal across the Rhine on this spot.

    The people of Oosterbeek and Arnhem still remember Operation Market Garden and the soldiers who fell and those that survived.
