Just seen on Facebook that Wilf Oldham OBE who was a member of 1 Border at Arnhem passed away early this morning. I met Wilf several times at the Regimental Reunions in Carlisle and at Arnhem as well as corresponding with him for a number of years, he was a lovely gent and always helpful with my endless questions about odds and ends. For Wilf's story see here Private Wilf Oldham (pegasusarchive.org) Wilfred E Oldham | ParaData I'm not aware of any other surviving Border Arnhem veterans, Wilf was definitely the last of their regular attenders at the anniversaries Over the years I've known about 30-40 Border Arnhem veterans, of those I've known Wilf is the last to slip away - feels like the end of an era Photo from The Arnhem Boys Facebook post
