    Philip,
    You must know I have it, I plug them enough! :)
    Not alot for you if you only want info on Wilts in Holland.
    Just a few photos that are from IWM & their collection.
    If you did buy it think of it as a donation to keep the Museum going.

    Thanks for that Owen, a friend and I were interested to see if it had some nice info about 'The Island'
    But maybe we buy a copy anyway to support the Museum

    When I first read "hold ups on the single road to Arnhem" I had an image of marauding bandits!! :)
