Does anyone know if the official commemoration in Oosterbeek War Cemetery will be on Satrurday (17-9) or Sunday (18-9)? The CWGC has it down for Saturday while it looks to me the Renkum website has it down for Sunday? TIA! Regards, Marco http://www.renkum.nl/renkum?waxtrapp=thiljLsHsOlCjTLQLL CWGC: Operation Market Garden commemorations, The Netherlands This year marks the 67th anniversary of Operation Market Garden, and events will be taking place in the Netherlands from 16-18 September, including a ceremony at Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery on 17 September at 11.00 am.

Thanks chaps. I seemed odd to me that the airdrop and the commemoration would be on the same time. Bit of a cock-up from the CWGC... Regards, Marco
Marco Probably safer to rely on the official programme of events. The one to watch out for is when the 17th falls on a Monday as lots of people think that the commemoration will take place on the nearest weekend. It's always the Sunday on or following the 17th John
