I'm very pleased that the Duke of Edinburgh is attending this event. However, can anyone shed some light as to why QEII will not be attending?

Market Garden.Monty´s biggest and most arrogant of mistakes when thousands and thousands of allied troops died totally unnescary as Monty didn´t wish to listen and just plain ignored fellow officers with more brains and far less pompous of whatever allie,not just British,but Canadians and most,the troops of Poland consisting of men who were abroad when war broke out in Poland in september 1939,or fled the country afterwards and all gathered in the UK where they formed Batallions.

In his reminecenses the late Prince Bernhard recalls how he disliked Monty,in fact the two couldn´t stand eachother at all,Bernhard was more on the American side in decision making during the war.He always said,and with great sadness,how arrogant British top brass is and how they will never admit a mistake and if it would eat them up.As is still the case today.
But you would have to go deeper into the history of this tragedy to fully understand.

Surely,many who will witness this day in Nijmegen,will also remember that what happened soon after,the awfull disastrous Operation Market Garden.

Only three years ago HM Queen Beatrix bestowed the highest Military Order of Willem to the troops of Poland and it´s wartime commander,Sosabowski,as a recognition of their actions and losses during that infamous operation.
Something the British haven´t done till this day.That´s the other side of the medal.One can not change history,it is written as it was.
