'Battlefield Walk' on Sunday afternoon 28th March
Because Niall Cherry will be in Oosterbeek for the whole weekend of the AGM, he has offered to also organise a 'Battlefield Walk' on Sunday afternoon 28th March. Its subject is the advance of the 1st and 3rd Para battalions through eastern Oosterbeek and west Arnhem. The tour begins at 2.00pm at the building of the former Oosterbeek-Laag station. The walk will follow the Klingelbeekseweg through to the Utrechtseweg in Arnhem.
Three photographs from the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' Collection. They were taken by L/Cpl Reg McFarlane of 1st (Airborne) Divisional Signals, Royal Corps of Signals, probably on Tuesday 19 September 1944.
