    I knew I’d have to have a Sherman tank at some point on the trip

    Great few days and some great people to share the experience with. Amazing sites visited with great descriptions of the events as usual from Clive.

    Well done all, looks a moving experience, made a little more special as it’s with fellow Addicks. One of these days, hopefully, I’ll be there myself.

    What a great trip. As always we learnt so much from Clive.  The trip to Oosterbeek cemetery was very moving due to the Charlton links.  Thanks everyone.

    Poor leadership I thought, when we were being instructed on how to take "Joe's  Bridge", by Captain Clive, when we were out flanked by an advance from the rear by "Kampfgruppe Mattheus" and his motley crew.
    Thankfully, peace was quickly restored by the mention of beer.

    Thanks again to Clive, for his amazing narration and intimate stories from those who were fighting, to Neal for organising the trip, and for all my "Battlefield Tours" colleagues on Charlton Life, for making another memorable trip.

    The statue of the soldier and child at Oosterbeek really choked me up.

    Thanks all, a lovely few days together, for your company and input. Neal puts in a lot of effort into these so an extra special thanks to him, cheers mate, it is appreciated by all of us. 

    Great to see the German and Dutch Addicks as well, where to next year?

    Maybe you’ll manage to get an omelette next time!

    Really enjoyed the recent Arnhem tour. My thanks to Neal for arranging and Clive for his excellent knowledge and presentation on the tour. Also thanks to everyone who posted pictures and comments and for all those who were on the tour with us.
