Personal stories send to me by Market Garden veterans


Bert Harget, Glider Pilot Regiment
I flew over to Arnhem from Down Ampney on the second day as 1st Pilot of a Horsa glider towed by a Dakota.

James J. Meyers 1st Lt., 82d Airborne Division
Everything was ready. Equipment and supply bundles, loaded the previous night, hung from pararacks beneath the aircraft.

Donald Parker, Glider Pilot Regiment
Our glider was loaded with a jeep and a field gun plus 5 gunners and gun ammunition.

Tom Hoare, Third Parachute Battalion
Time seemed to go into high gear as swiftly across the north sea we flew.
