Mark,
An interesting photo of the Bridge at Nijmegen, as it shows American Airborne leaving the bridge on several British Armour, a lead Sherman and several Bren Gun carriers.
This photo does not appear in our museum, just wondered where you found it, or was it in someones possesions Stateside?

The photo looks to me like a composite, the foreground being a shot from the movie "A Bridge Too Far" and the background a view of the bridge at Nijmegen, which was used in the movie to depict the bridge at Arnhem.
Could be Tom, just need to tie in some movie shots which we have at the museum to clarify that.
