Great piece of family history mate !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

The family told me to tske it apart and display it as I liked...but I like the way the man himself has donit, it'd be ashame to alter it.....he is still alive and has written his wartime memoirs for the family

Re: Arnhem relic
Very good family relic with a known history. I visited the area a few time when I lived in Holland, a very evocative place, especially the Memorial site and the cemetery at Oosterbeek.
