After visiting the cemetery it was on to the ceremony at the Ginkel Heath. On this site, on 17 and 18 September 1944, thousands of paratroopers of the 4th Parachute Brigade landed to join the battle for Arnhem Bridge. On 22 September 2007, it was a site of commemoration. Lots of veterans attended this event which included several parachute drops on the Heath.

Polish Re-enactors

I joked with Kelly that upon seeing this 4 legged trooper that the Germans had overrun the drop zone. She promptly replied that since he was attached to a British Officer (Re-enactor) he must be a POW instead. She's getting better at this stuff...

The last two pictures were made the next morning after the crowds had disappeared.
