Perimeter Route
At several spots along this route are information panels that tell the story of the Battle of Arnhem during the Second World War.


Airborne troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel J.D. Frost managed to hold the road bridge in Arnhem, now the John Frostbrug, from 17 to 21 September 1944 before being overrun. The other British units defended the western part of the town of Oosterbeek.
A 3-inch mortar position of 1st Battalion The Border Regiment alongside Van Lennepweg was photographed not far from here.

The text under the photograph says:
