The ecstatic inhabitants of Eindhoven (Market-Garden) smother a Guards Armoured Division tank soon after it enters the town. - "The greeting we received in the town" - recalled one driver, "brought tears to our eyes."
 


Greeting

A Parachute Regiment lieutenant (standing on the extreme right) and a group of airborne soldiers on September 17, 1944, (Operation Market-Garden) just minutes before they put on their parachutes and boarded the Dakota behind them.

Before boarding

A strong leader, highly capable officer and remarkable soldier: Lieutenant Colonel John Frost (1912-1993), the experienced commander of 2nd Parachute Battalion.
