We need reinforcements! Some paras carrying ammo boxes, pulling in chutes, opening drop cannisters, wounded and dead and medics! The men at Arnhem need back up!^&grin

Hoping to see some more Brit paras this year as it's been a while! But to be honest, XXX Corps, Polish, Canadian, American or anything are welcome!^&grin:wink2:

Had a pic to add but forgot the camera, it's in the loft haha!

[braddinpa]

yep, they actually brought them in the Big gliders. (forget what they are called). In the After the Battle Book you can see some of the Bren Carriers in the Osterbeek Parimeter and some knocked out. The picture that stands out is the knocked out one.

Ah, found the picture I was looking for. http://www.vriendenairbornemuseum.nl/battlefield_walk_2010_EN.htm

It is the last picture. I believe these brens were used to carry supplies.
