"The master race at work", notes photographer Sergeant Dennis Smith on his dope sheet. Two German prisoners of war, guarded by a Glider Pilot, gather wood for cooking. The man on the right was one of four snipers taken prisoner. Note the MRC body armour worn by the pilot; Arnhem was probably the only time in the war when this armour was worn in action. It was supposed to be worn beneath the pilots' battledress, but many found it more comfortable to wear it on the outside.(rudeerude)

HMS Formidable

Taken on the Utrechtseweg, opposite the junction with the Bredeweg, at 08:00 on Monday 18th September(Market Garden). The kilted Captain James Ogilvie, commander of "D" Squadron The Glider Pilot Regiment talks with an officer whose identity has not been established with certainty. Although the sign in the bottom right indicates that he may be  Lieutenant-Colonel Loder-Symonds, the Commander Royal Artillery, it is believed that it is more likely to be the commander of No.1 Wing The Glider Pilot Regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Iain Murray. Ogilvie drowned whilst attempting to swim the Rhine during the withdrawal on the 25th/26th September.
