My Grandfather, John Boow was in the 1st Airborne Division, the Border Regiment, and fought in the Oosterbeek Perimeter during Operation Market Garden, this is a photo taken during the battle, he's the one at the very back behind the man with a Cigar:
He escaped at the end of the battle and survived the war, however he died before I was born, but luckily for me, after my Mother was born! :p
We still have a Hitler Youth Dagger in the house that was his, and a photo of him in Uniform.
