A Bridge Too Far is a Hollywood view of Market Garden. My two books are based on facts, primary sources.
Why and where did Market Garden fail? Purchase Lost at Nijmegen. All Market Garden facts from primary sources? Purchase Little Sense of Urgency

(Time again to promote my two books, something I tend to forget to do regularly. 😟) If you like to collect all available facts and form your own opinion about Market Garden please visit my website pre-jump.nl. (I have no marketing department so a repost is really appreciated.)

My old man was sent to defuse a bomb in the Tower pub in Hastings on 23/5/43 - it landed in the beer cellar and the landlord refused to leave as he was sure the BD squad were going to nick all his beer 😂

He was cashiered on charges of looting from bombed out properties and ended up in Australia after the war I believe.

Davies was a GC recipient. His career was ended over allegations of dodgy behaviour. As an aside, I was treated for burns in the German Hospital in Dalston when I was a wee lad.

Filmed from the Valiant - my grandfather was serving on the Valiant at the time & I often wonder if he saw this. He was a gunner - so likely to have been above decks.
