In December 2012 I had the honour of visiting the #WW2 #military #cemetery at #Oosterbeek near #Arnhem in the #Netherlands. Here lie the graves of 1,759 allied servicemen, mostly British but also Polish, Canadian, Dutch, American, Australian and New Zealand, most of whom died during the Battle of Arnhem. I was there at sunset, it was absolutely silent apart from the bird sound and in the distance somebody letting off fireworks, which sounded eerily like gunfire. This is a very special place. #RIP #war #peace #respect #Airborne #WorldWar2 #travel #tourism #tourist #DarkTourism #graves #grave #graveyard #army #airforce #para #paratrooper
