The 2nd South Staffords marching along the Utrechtseweg, near Oosterbeek, on their way to assist the 1st Para Brigade in Arnhem. This group have loaded their heavy packs into one of the handcarts that each platoon of the airlanding battalion's possessed. Also note the tall wire fencing on the extreme left of the picture. It was a common feature of the Arnhem landscape and hindered attempts of troops to find cover when they came under fire. Copyright: IWM BU1090.
