"A lonely helmet , we must remember." Top 5 Page for this destination Arnhem Favorite Tip by Waalewiener

Favorite thing: During the advance on the bridge Lt Col Frost commanded his battalion with great initiative and skill and by considerable enemy forces had been outflanked and the northern end of the bridge captured together with sixty prisoners. All attempts to capture the southern end of the bridge failed. The bridge itself was covered by fire from the south bank of the river while the railway bridge further downstream was blown before Lt Col Frost could get a company across.
