Headset in place... Sten gun held ready... Lance Corporal
Robert Thompson advances to the front.
Lieutenant Jack Bromley a para platoon leader moves
forward.
Private Dan Maclean fires a burst from his Sten.
Using a couple of handy sand bags to steady his Bren,
Private Keith Caldicott provides covering fire for his
fellow paratroopers.
Three airborne men edge cautiously forward -- Glider Pilot
Sergeant Chris Hopwood... Corporal Pete Foster with the Bren
gun and... Private Eric Stanley clutching his Sten gun.
A superb standing study of the commander of the British 1st
Airborne division during the ill-fated Arnhem operation. In
the movie, a fellow Scot, Sean Connery portrayed Roy
Urquhart.
Portrayed by Gene Hackman in "A Bridge Too Far", Sosabowski
had grave doubts about the entire operation right from the
very beginning. This superb character study shows the
General in his paratrooper "Denison" smock, wearing his
distinctive blue/gray Polish beret and carrying his Browning
automatic pistol.
This expert rifleman uses the standard Lee Enfield .303 with
a special hunting scope.
Using a captured German machine pistol this Polish Para is
on the attack.
Taking a momentary respite from the fighting this
paratrooper is still watchful... and ready, rifle in
hand.
For the very first time... two of our British Paras (both
different) jumping into the hell that was Arnhem. Like their
U.S. airborne comrades these Brits descend on fully deployed
'chutes ready for anything...
Jeeps were essential to these airborne soldiers and so were
radios... Fortunately the jeeps worked... unfortunately the
radios did not! However, it's all part of the "ARNHEM"
story. Here an officer (with Sten gun ready) and his driver
ferry their radio operator around the drop zone trying to
get a better signal!
Sgt. Dennis Smith kneels down to film some of the action
during the doomed battle.
One of the iconic images of the battle were the photos of a
lone British Mortar Team in action with their 81mm mortar.
This is our tribute to them.
Sadly all too many of the British 1st. Airborne Division at
Arnhem ended up killed, wounded or captured. Here, a
casually smoking SS Panzer Grenadier guards two Paras... one
seriously wounded. A poignant little set.
Thanks for Looking!
