What do we do?

Four times a year we publish a newsletter in Dutch and English about current events relating to the Friends and the museum. Every issue includes an article dedicated to an aspect of the history of the Battle of Arnhem; it can be found in the section entitled 'Ministory' (a minimum of four A4 pages).

The society organizes events such as excursions, theme-days and lectures for its members. The excursions are battlefield tours to historic sites of relevance to the events of September 1944.  The theme-days and lectures explore aspects and issues of Operation Market Garden in great depth. Often these are illustrated with photographs and films that were shot at the time.

The latter, also a society member, is holding a copy of the critically acclaimed booklet 'With Nothing Bigger Than a Bren Gun', about the defence by the British of a schoolhouse at the Arnhem road bridge in September 1944. Harold was a parachute engineer at the time, and fought in that building; Niall is the author.

The photo was taken by Harold's son David in September 2008.
