For a hopefully upcoming publication I am trying to locate Family members/Next of Kin of men who were killed durig or after the Battle of Arnhem, September 1944.
I want to gather information about them, where they might have be killed or last seen by their comrades and also when possible a photograph of them which can be used in this publication, the following weeks want to post there names here, and hope people who have any knowledge about Family or next of kin, would like to contact me, by email or pm.
Thank you all in advance.
