Following on from the success of the Great War
battlefield tours, MDW and JGW will now be looking
at the campaigns of the Second World War, once
again explaining the battles through the experiences
of those Wykehamists who fought and died in these
battles. Based in the town of Arnhem, we will not only
look at the fighting around the historic bridge and the
drop zones, but also at the role of XXX Corps, and its
spearhead Guards Armoured Division, trying to fight its
way from Lommel through Eindhoven and Nijmegen
to the bridge at Arnhem. Wykehamists served in 1st
Airborne and in Guards Armoured Divisions. Seven
lost their lives, three with the Guards and four with
the Paras. It is a battle often characterised as a ‘heroic
disaster’. As ever, we will examine the facts behind such
perceptions.
