    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.

    Anyone got a photo of this one?
    Heteren - 7th Bn Hampshire Regiment - Drielse Rijndijk

    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?
