New York, New York,(Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 78-59200 has many pictures of the weapons you are looking for. Also the picture you have of the Colt .45 looks like it is the M1911A1 Colt. These pistols were manufactured under contract by many differant companies, including Singer Sewing Machine Co. Good Luck with your efforts

Today's "revisionist" history tends to downplay the methods used in winning the war. Perhaps the wars critics should look at the war from a 1940's perspective.

I am astounded that this event was allowed to slip away due to what I understand was poor intelligence. And apparently no one listened to the the Dutch resistance who were telling the British what was actually happening on the ground just before the operation began. I will add this bookmark to my others on matters related to the invasion of Europe.

Comments: Three of us had the chance to detour to Arnhem while travelling back from Hannover. After seeing the bridge we all wanted to have some more information. These pages are great and we will be taking some time to read them. Well done and many thanks.

Comments: Greetings: My mother's cousin, Lt. Robert Lake of the 101st Airborne Div., was killed during Market Garden. Almost no knowledge of the details regarding his participation in the operation are known. While in Holland I traveled the Arnhem-Eindhoven route and visited the airborne museum near Nijmegen. There I found his name and outfit designation in the 'Hall of Heroes'. The information I had regarding his death was that he was injured during the fighting and then killed when the hospital he was in was bombed. The incription indicated he was WIA-DOW at OEDEN/MONASAT which I was told was probably the Monastery in St. Oedenrode. I was driving north out of St. Oedenrode and came upon a hospital which appeared to perhaps have once been a monastery. I was overwhelmed by the sense of history I was experiencing. Does it seem likely that the hospital I stumbled upon was the OEDEN/MONAST mentioned on the museum plaque? Also, do you know of any sources of additional information I might be able to obtain regarding Lt. Lake's role during Market-Garden? He has a son that was born after he left for Europe who also knows little of his father. I very much enjoyed my brief travel through Holland and hope to return to do it more fully in the future. I wasn't able to visit the 1st Airborne Division museum in Oosterbeek and would like to visit it. Can you provide me a list of the museums and monuments dedicated to the Market-Garden operation? I may be able to provide a photograph of Lt. Lake in uniform if your organization or a museum may like it. Thank you for your time. Mark Bergin 2250 Monroe St. #133 Santa Clara, CA 95050

Comments: Great site. If any one out there has a chance, definitely pay a visit to the Airborne Museum in Arnhem. It gives an amazing perspective on the operation.
