Fritz Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 They were from a facebook posting, maybe I can find them again. Here are some other related images On this day in 1944, seven members of the Intelligence Corps, six N.C.O.s and one officer of 89 Field Security Section, parachuted with the first drop into Arnhem; Operation MARKET GARDEN. Additional N.C.O.s soon followed with the glider-borne elements. The Field Security Officer (F.S.O.) and four N.C.O.s stayed in the town and fought with 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, while the others remained with their respective battalion HQs. Two section members died in the operation, five were wounded-in-action but escaped and the rest were captured. Christine wears her Father's medals proudly at Anzac day 2015. Chris's Father served with the British Paratroopers and jumped into Arnhem during Operation Market Garden and then re-enlisted to serve his country in Korea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
