Silent March White Ribbon Mile

On the night of September 25 to 26, 1944, the men of the 1st British Airborne Division crossed the Rhine from the perimeter in Oosterbeek. The wounded must be left behind. After nine days of fighting, this ended the Battle of Arnhem.

On September 25, 2024, the annual silent march was held from the old church in Oosterbeek to the memorial at the crossing on the Rhine bank where the soldiers were picked up in boats from the Canadian engineers. Some soldiers tried to swim to the other side. There was a short commemoration at the memorial.
