    I have now deleted duplicate frames, stabilized and sharpened footage of the home movie, made by dentist Clous (Lebretweg 1 Oosterbeek), 17 September 1944 and onwards.

    Oosterbeek, Utrechtseweg. Germans retreating, first British soldier to appear with local guide, jeeps racing east with 1 Airborne Recce men, family of dentist Clous, locals chearing, Polsten gun, dispatch riders, wandering soldier, soldiers posing in front of house of dentist Clous, jeep driving north with local guide, devastation, Möbelwagen and Germans looking towards MDS-crossing, 1945 scenes, with Shermans and Sextons.

    I know this is an old thread but I'm doing some research into my family tree and found this thread when looking information on Leslie McCreedie.

    I'd like to add that our family are 100% sure that the person named as Leslie McCreedie is indeed him.

    Has anyone any other information on Leslie McCreedie?

    Hi I am quite sure the chap in the above photo is my dad Bill Bentall, 1st Airborne Reconnaissence Corp, he is also photographed in this jeep by Dave Woekrom. Regards. Eileen
