It rained heavily today, but the experience for my guest from Canada remained truly remarkable. His father was part of the Canadian troops that liberated Arnhem in April 1945
Fiona came to the Netherlands with her mother, whose father was involved in the Market Garden operation in September 1944. They didn't know much about his history, only that he had served in the engineer corps and had been quartered with a family in Eindhoven.
David Dobie was an officer in the 1st Airborne Division who led his troops to Arnhem during Market Garden. His stepson spent a day with me in Arnhem.
Russell came for two days to Arnhem and Nijmegen where his grandfather had fought during Market Garden. In uniform, he also came to pay his respects. It was the weekend of September 17, a time when many events and commemorations are organized.
