28m
The 10th Parachute Battalion of the Parachute Regiment would jump into the cauldron of battle at Arnhem on the 18th September 1944. From there most of the men would become prisoners and a mere handful would return to the UK in the days and weeks following the end of Operation Market Garden. In this episode we travel with Jon to Leicestershire in England and uncover the Tenth Battalion Trail, following in the footsteps of the 10th Parachute battalion during their time in England from December 1943 to September 1944 when they left for Arnhem.
