Two British soldiers who were killed 80 years ago during the Battle of Arnhem have finally been laid to rest with full military honours.
Private Henry Moon and Lieutenant Dermod Green Anderson died fighting in Operation Market Garden, the major airborne offensive aimed at securing strategically important crossings in the Netherlands.
They were buried in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, which is the final resting place of more than 1,700 Second World War service personnel.

That scuffy unshaven WO2 needs to sort himself out. He looks a total disgrace
Truly astonishing the support for a fallen British soldier
Gteatest genetation makes me sick what we have become afyer these mens sacrificed
..that corner of a foreign land will forever be a part of England………unlike many parts of England, now…….
I'm sure they'd be happy to know their Priest now supports gay marriage and London is a majority non white
Oosterbeek, a place of great significance in British military history, deserves to have its name pronounced properly. You pronounce the double “oo” at the beginning as the “o” in “go”.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
God bless them and their families and loved ones and may they rest in peace. We will remember them. 🙏🏻
We’ll never forget our liberators ❤️
Every year we are going to margraten and oosterbeek and our local cemetry to honor the fallen ,and every time i,m crying when i see how very young some lads were thank you for the battles fought for peace.A 1000 and many more thank you.
Immense respect and dignity shown and given to these young soldiers. Very moving and again a reminder of how much we owe that generation.
As an American, I'm proud to have had such great allies as the British all these years. It really hit home when they showed the soldier from the burial party wearing the same NATO medal from Afghanistan that I wear. God bless the British, and God bless the Dutch.
May H . Moon rest in peace. As ever the Dutch are class when dealing with these kinds of occasions.
But I appeal to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to exhume the one soldier in Reusel,Holland buried without a named headstone who the Dutch army and the people of Reusel know is Vernon John Kia 1944. Please give him the dignity of having him recognised. He gave his life for freedom
Squaddies are allowed tashes now?
RIP to the the fallen but it was all for nothing. Country is destroyed. We are trudging to a very bitter end.
Massive respect to the dutch❤️
Never shall we forget. RIP
It is so great how the current generation of soldiers pay respect to their predecessors.
Never forgotten
A real shame and disrespect to those men who died fighting Nazi Germany only for the past & current goverment to support a totally corrupt and undemocratic Nazi regime in Kiev. BoJo, Sunak and Starmer are all guilty of perpetuating untold unnecessary human suffering while their billionaire masters profit from it.
Yes and we have Farage fascist on the street, ?
Respect to the Dutch people.
I knew we in the United States continue to look for missing servicemen but I did not know that other countries do too.
And Lee Rigby ?
Semper Fi
Thank you for your service and bravery. For all the brave men and women that died for our freedom, thank you.❤❤❤
Never forget.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. 🌺
With utmost respect to the people who tend the graves of our fallen and to the small teams of people dedicated to identifying all remains that are found in an effort to identify them and ensure a proper burial for them in a marked grave….
God bless all who fought for freedom that we may live in peace and especially to those who never returned home to savour the peace they gave their lifes for …..my late father served from 1940-45 and he was my hero but he said the real heroes are the ones he left behind in France and across northern Europe.
