    Hope it is ok to mention that the excellent book 'B Company Arrived' (I'm sure Martin B will give it a character reference) about this unit's experiences both in getting to the road bridge and it's actions there, is now down to the last 40 copies or so. Originally 1300 were printed and I understand there will not be a reprint, so if you don't have a copy suggest you don't hang around too long.
    Full of excellent photos and in my opinion a bargain at £16.50.

    A character reference and then some ! [​IMG]

    For my money, one of the best Arnhem books of recent years with remarkable attention to detail, excellent photos and production values ( as always where Robert Sigmond's publishing expertise is involved ) and above all, a book which clears up several Arnhem mysteries.

    Don't miss out !

    Me and my Dad are booked into the Bilderberg for the weekend.

    RB, from what I've heard, no hotel rooms at any price are left in the Arnhem area for that week. :(
