We met at the Cafe at the rear of the Hartenstein Hotel in Oosterbeek the week of the 80th Anniversary commemorations. Quick appreciation of the GROUND surrounding, and identification of the Utrechtseweg that runs West-East in front of the Hotel as Route TIGER, the main axis of advance of 1st and 3rd Parachute Battalions. Hartenstein had been the HQ of [x] From there we walked along Utrechtseweg towards the Schoonord Cafe at the infamous crossroads. The present day Cafe adorned with Airborne para-phernalia stands on the site of the Schoonord Hotel, which quickly was designated as a Main Dressing Station for the wounded. The daughter of the hotel proprietor, Hendrika van der Vlist, was but a teenager but offered her time and energy in support of the Medical Officer and orderlies. Medical Officer Graeme Warrack tells a harrowing story of the frequency of the Dressing Station changing hands during the night most nights in his excellent book 'Travel by Dark' followed by his eventual capture after the evacuation on the night of the 25th Sept, subsequent escape from captivity and then a prolonged Escape & Evasion adventure with the help of the Dutch Resistance and locals until well into 1945 when he was eventually repatriated to Blighty. We then walked South 200m perhaps towards the Tafelberg Hotel, which had until 17th Sept been headquarters for [y] and then a series of operating theatres for treatment of the wounded. Medical orderlies would have to stretcher casualties from the Main Dressing Station at the site of the Schonoord cafe to the Tafelberg with no protection other than the red cross armbands. Harrowing. From there we continued south, descending from the high ground of the crossroads to 'Lower Oosterbeek'. We identified some of the 75mm pack howitzer gun positions of Troops C and D, stopping at the present-day Konzerthalle, the initial Regimental HQ of 1st Airlanding Light Regiment RA. Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel 'Sheriff' Thompson had designated this site as close as centre to the Regimental position as possible.
