Great pics

I went into the Reichswald Forest when I was in Arnhem three years ago. It still has many battle scars hidden away but very evergrown in places. This is perhaps one area that is not so well known but there was fierce fighting in and around the forest.

There is a very nice British cemetery of the same name which contains many graves to airmen including some from the Dambusters Raid if I remember correctly. Well worth a visit.

Five of the original Dambuster crews are buried in the Reichswald including the original crew of G George , Guy Gibsons crew !!

Hello, Is there anywhere I can find the names of these men? I am pretty sure that the man at the back one in from the right is my father John D Murphy.
I am attaching a photo which shows him on left. The photo is showing it's age. The original appeared, I was told, in the Times during the Allied advance into Belgium. Of course there was no more detail published but my Grandparents recognised him.
He was, not long after this, shot by a sniper and sustained severe head injuries from which he never fully recovered.
