Comments: This is a masterpiece of historical information and I congratulate you on your
efforts. My reason for locating the site was to prepare for a visit to Arnhem and Rhenen
where Gunner Maurice Alfred Keeling, our brother, is buried. We are searching for any
contact of those who tend the graves. Maurice rests in a churchyard in Rhenen, along with
only a handful of others unfortunate to be downstream and so far away from their comrades.
We would like to thank the people in Rhenen when we visit in February. Is it possible to
be put in touch with any persons involved? Joyce Gornall (she's our big sister) Olive
Savage (our little sister) and me the baby of the family.

Comments: My father (also Catrinus) was a young man growing up in Lunteren near Arnhem. He
has very strong memories of the battles and especially of the valiant Polish units. We
emigrated to America in 1960. If it wasn't for my father's memory, I don't think I ever
would have heard of the battle of Arnhem because it simply isn't to be found in any
American history textbooks, or if it is in a textbook it is presented in a very inaccurate
way (favoring Monty's "90% successful" description). There is a LOT written
about D Day and virtually nothing on OMG. This site will go a LONG way to helping educate
americans about what happened at Arnhem. Thanks, and well done.

a museum in Groesbeek, 'Bevrijdingsmuseum'. I don't know if that's a good museum.
Hartenstein is of course very good, both for people who've never heard about Market
Garden, but also for them who know very much about it. Also interesting is the Airborne

Comments: Keep up the good work, we can never forget all those brave young men who gave
their lives in Holland in 1944. I am young, but my grandfather fought in WW2. Not in
Holland, but i the air with the Royal Air Force. We can never forget these heroic men, who
gave so much for us today.

Comments: a great site to view but i would urge anyone with a genuine interest in the
operation to visit the lovely town of arnhem. I first visited 2 years ago to pay a
pilgramige, (my grans cousin was with 7KOSB at oosterbeek and my grandfather was with the
R.A.F and was there in '45,he tells me the locals were very wary at first because he and
his comrades were in RAF blue very similar to luftwaffe field uniform!)any info regarding
Peter Bird late of 7 KOSB would be greatly appretiated.as i say arnhem and surrounding
areas are lovely and the people are so warm and friendly i would say just go and find out
for yourself i did and i have been back 5 times so far. Bedankt en tot zeins, Kai.

Comments: I had the privelage of visiting Arnhem and Oosterbeek with my father in law (Reg
Warrener, 1st. Para.) who fought and was captured there. To walk the area with a veteran
and hear some of the stories of the heroic fighting that took place there just literally
made the hair at the back of my neck tingle. Thanks for a great web site it does justice
to all the brave people who fought and died there.
