william williamson - paratrooper at arnhem

As far as "overview" type books go, it's definitely in the top two or three IMHO.

 

Hi Nicola,

Like Paul says Middlebrook's book is one of the best you can read... And did you get the WD off Paul yet ??? if not PM me

Cheers
Tom

 

Nicola's got the diaries mate .............

 

Hi Nicolaw, I have a letter from him written in 1945 indicating that he was wounded and captured in the fighting at Arnhem Bridge
kind regards

 

Thank you, he was wounded when a stick grenade was thrown into the house mentioned in the letter, he threw it back out and was shot through the jaw/throat
He was captured, and marched for three days without treatment

 

Hi Nicola.Thanks for that extra detail. Kind regards Graham
