A Bridge Too Far..................

[NoncomRetired]

The below photo is of the veterans of the Border Regiment and a gal by the name of Greet Overmeen. As a young child, her and all her other classmates adopted a grave to attend at the british cemetery at Oosterbeek. Greet was then adopted by the Border Regt and attended all their reunions, both in Carlisle and in Holland. She has sadly passed on as so many other in this photo I took many years ago.

The other photo is of the wreath ceremony at the burial of three recently found (at that time) british MIAs in Oosterbeek. I have more photos of Arnhem and Oosterbeek if you care to see them and also of Nijmegen where the 82nd took that bridge, let me know.
