    You may not know but 126 WW2 British vehicles with 350 British, fee Dutch and Polish reenactors drove through Valkensward in September as part of the 70th anniversary of the liberations.

    footage of the vehicles can be found here

    a recreation of the photo was made but ive yet to get hold of a copy.

    All vehicles including tanks and bren carriers covered the approx 160 miles from the Belguim Border up to Driel (with a very indirect route).

    I was very pround to take part and to retrace the footsteps of my Grandfather pictured to the left.
