This Saturday, 6 September, we hope to experience a wonderful 78th edition of the Airborne March together. It has been 81 years since the Battle of Arnhem took place in September. To commemorate this heroic operation, in which tens of thousands of soldiers took part, the Airborne March was organised for the first time in 1947. Lest we forget.
We look forward to welcoming you to Oosterbeek on Saturday!
