"Arnhem - The Fight To Sustain"; is the story of the units and soldiers who provided the logistic support to 1st British Airborne Division in the battle for the Arnhem road bridge and the subsequent fighting in the nearby village of Oosterbeek in September 1944.
The author was a military logistician in the British Army for 34 years, and has researched original material and spoken to a number of veterans of the battle in compiling what is a compelling story of men and units whose contribution to the support of the fighting elements, and the fighting they undertook themselves, has thus far gone largely un-recorded. This work remedies that omission.
It tells the story of the Royal Army Service Corps, including air dispatch, the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, the Pioneer Corps, the Army Catering Corps and the Royal Engineers Postal Section in supporting 1st Airborne Division. As such, it includes for the first time details about the seaborne element which crossed to Europe in August 1944 and the Airborne Forward Delivery Airfield Group, or AFDAG, which was established to support operations after a successful drop.
Drawing heavily on anecdotal information, and describing in detail the creation of Britain's airborne logistic capability and its first real operational test, this is a powerful story which will be of interest to a wide range of military historians, and, because of the powerful human dimension, a wider audience. It comprises some 65,000 words with around 80 photographs, a number of which are previously unseen originals
