Seedorf81 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 In an effort to counterbalance the overwhelming Gustav Line attention, I'd like to offer the poor sods that didn't buy the "spaghetti-modules" the opportunity to mention their Arnhem-heroes. My favorite soldier of the battle is captain Eric Mackay of the Royal Engineers. Though he looked nothing like a movie star hero (see photo of him and three mates after the battle on http://www.strijdbewijs.nl/market-garden/20september.htm ), he was a tenacious fighter and real leader of men, positioned in the "red school" on the northeast-side of the Arnhem bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
