    Just browsing Pathe and saw these:

    Veterans Return 1969:
    British Pathe - ARNHEM - 25th ANNIVERSARY

    British Pathe - (ARNHEM)


    Veterans return 1964:
    British Pathe - (ARNHEM REMEMBERED)

    Veterans return 1949:
    British Pathe - AIRBORNE VETERANS GO BACK TO ARNHEM

    The Red Devils
    British Pathe - RED DEVILS OF ARNHEM

    Some well earned medals:
    British Pathe - MEN OF ARNHEM AT PALACE

    They remembered
    British Pathe - PILGRIMAGE TO ARNHEM

    I think this might be the chap whose cross appears very briefly?
