The details on this page relating to unit commanders, companies, platoons, etc, have all been taken from Who Was Who by C. van Roekel, published by the Society of Friends of the Airborne Museum, Oosterbeek, 1992. I am indebted to the Society of Friends for granting me permission to use extracts from their book. Who Was Who contains far more information than is included below and copies can be purchased direct from the Museum Shop - http://www.airbornemuseum.com/
Details of unit strengths and casualties, etc, have been taken from "Arnhem 1944" by Martin Middlebrook. "Went in" figures indicate the total unit strength present in Arnhem, but may not represent their full operational strength as some elements were not air-transportable and were to have been reunited via the Sea Tail following a successful conclusion to Market Garden. "Died" includes all those killed in action, deaths as a result of atrocities or escape attempts immediately following the aftermath of the battle, and anyone who died from their wounds up until the end of 1944. "Evacuated" are those who assembled across the Rhine on the 26th September. "Missing" represents those taken prisoner during the battle, though a number of these men may have subsequently escaped and rejoined their units.
