My Dad took part in Operation Varsity as a Member of the 17th Airborne 194th Glider Infantry Regiment 3rd Battalion. This battalion was formed with the remnants of the 193rd GIR and my Dads unit the 550th GIR after the Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded in the glider by flak. He also made a glider assault in Operation Dragoon into Southern France in Aug,1944.
