Private Jim Longson was a Vickers gunner with the 1st Border Regiment, which landed in gliders near Arnhem on the first day of the battle. This is the story of what befell him and his comrades during those awful ten days. Although suffering heavy casualties the Borders fought on from shrinking defensive positions, despite the lack of almost every kind of supply, especially ammunition. The narrative continues with Jim Longson. This unique personal account of men in battle is illustrated with a large number of photographs, many of them only rarely, or never before, published. An Arnhem Odyssey provides a rare insight into the battle for Arnhem and the men who fought it at its most important level - that of the infantryman on the ground. It is a story of remarkable courage and discipline, and also of the long-suffering, often humorous, ability to endure which has always distinguished the finest British Soldiers. 160 illustrations
