Description
The 9th (Airborne) Field Company, Royal Engineers has a long history of fighting as infantry. Their involvement in the Arnhem operation was significant, with the company suffering the highest death toll of any unit in the British 1st Airborne Division over nine days. This period saw intense action, including attempts to reach the bridge and defend the Oosterbeek Perimeter. The outcome was a high price paid by those who landed by glider nine days earlier, with only around thirty percent managing to evacuate across the river. This book is part of the Market Garden Engineer Series, featuring original maps and photos.
