    Corporal Fred Weatherley late of the XXI Independent Parachute Company, one of the first stick north of the Rhine, passed away last week. An old and valued friend of mine... rest in peace Fred.

    Fred's hand marked map of the XXI's positions in Osterbeek. Jim Fiely was a good pal and boozing crony of Fred's...​
