Memorial Old Church Oosterbeek

This memorial commemorates the heavy fights around this church.

Text on the memorial.

In September 1944 British Airborne soldiers and their Polish comrades, with the support if brave Dutch men and women, fought a grim battle around this ancient church in the struggle to liberate The Netherlands from Nazi tyranny. This stone commemorates all who took part in this action and above all those who died.

Not one shall be forgotten"
