Operation Market Garden Monuments/Memorials

I am trying to find out wich monuments/memorials there are related to the
operation. There is not such thing as a complete list on the internet,
so I posted my temporary list on the Dutch Commonwealth Forum(Don't
know if I am allowed to say the name?) and asked the members if they know of any monument not on the list.
In any case, I would like to complete the list with memorials/monuments
related to the Operation outside Holland.
So, if you know about such memorials, please post it in this thread, and I
will update this post with the memorials.
The Information needed is, MEMORIAL NAME, PLACE AND LOCATION.

Thanks in advance

Ron

Hi Ron,

I suspect you may already know of Remember September 44 site? It has a large list of memorials but someone told me it was not complete.

Remember September '44


I've counted 81 memorials on the site

Regards
Andy

 

Thanks Andy, forgot to look there altough I knew about the site, as you mentioned,
there has been many unveilings of monuments during the last years so I hope to
make an up-to-date list.

Thanks, I have to go to the Rhine and see the Memorial myself, don't know if it has an official name, I have to find out.
Have to go through Paul Photo's, are they all related to the Operation
you think? Can't read the text very well on all of them.

 

Ronald, do you have the plaque on the building where John Frost Battalion HQ was on your listand the airborne house on utrechtweg

 

Anyone got a photo of this one?

I'm more interested in 43rd Wessex than anything the airborne did.
EDIT:the website linked to,
Untitled Document
has a link to it at Driel but it is in fact a photo of the 5 DCLI one.
Ah, I see the one labelled 5 DCLI is in fact the 7 Hamps one.

What were they thinking of eh?

Owen, if you click on the 5 DCLI link, you get the 7th Hamps photo

 

Owen, this link is as bad, you get a polish plaque on this one

Thanks Phil, the airborne shield is on the list, but the John Frost Plaque not, I will change it.

 

Thanks Phil, the airborne shield is on the list, but the John Frost Plaque not, I will change it.

I have photo's of both if you want them.

 

Ron, dont forget the ones on my Nijmegen post either

Thanks Phil, but when I completed the list(if that's possible) I am planning
to take pics of all the memorials/monuments myself so that i have one size
of most of the images.
