Fellas If you're coming to Arnhem we have full programme on Friday at DZ X Renkum by the Airborne cafe (1st para bde DZ in 1944)
On Friday the 15th there will be 2 Arnhem veterans joining our jump; Steve Morgan and Bill Williams (3 rd para Bn)
They will be at Volkel airbase and fly with the Dakota as passengers .

Here is an interview with Steve Morgan talking about his experiences.
In part 2 he talks about Lt. John Grayburn VC of 2PARA under the bridge. A rather haunting story.
