One of the most famous photographs taken at Arnhem. Armed with Sten guns and pistols, a mixed group of, possibly, paratroopers, 1st Border and Glider Pilots clear a wrecked building. To speak truth, however, their search had already been accomplished prior to this, and here they re-enact it for the benefit of the photographer. Copyright: IWM BU1121.
