Arnhem picture help required
Hi, last Sunday I met a veteran who jumped into arnhem, seemingly got as far as Den Brink, landed up in the old church as part of Logsdale force, and quoted Lonsdales words to the men as if it was yesterday, total recall. althouth injured he hung on to a boat as daylight approached and was taken across the river and on to Nijmegen He has never been back, never joined any veterans associations or even seen Thiers is the Glory. He has Loaned this picture to us which we have had restored, in the hope that we can tell him where it was taken. With his permission I will set out in more detail his battle memories and who he is in the near future on this site. It is encouraging to know there is at least one more veteran left than we thought and we will learn his story. Added restored picture by drumaneen with many thanks for his help and input

Ramon is an unknown quantity at this point
It looks I see tram lines, Is the photo taken in Arnhem/Oosterbeek. When I'm correct about the tram lines, and the photo is taken in the Arnhem/Oosterbeek erea, maybe it is taken somewhere at the Utrechtseweg.

I am not sure Philip, does not looks Utrechtseweg to me, but maybe I am wrong.
