- A first hand account of Steve Morgan during the Battle of Arnhem. A true Gentleman and friend who fought at the bridge, at the Battle of Arnhem September 1944. Under the Command of Lt Col John Frost.
In the Concluding part of video 2, Steve is laying flowers and paying his respects at the Graves of Wing Commander Guy Gibson and Squadron Leader Jim Warwick (Steenbergen, Holland). We were there as guests of our Dutch friends, who have looked after the resting places of these two heroic airmen.
Steve is now 89. He will be attending this years 70th Commemorations at Arnhem. Steve has been asked to lay a wreath (19th September 14, Airborne Plein) at the bridge on behalf of Colonel John Waddy (who is currently not well enough to attend).
Gosh he is very precise , very good recall. I note he obviously respects all ranks, they all were all obviously a really tight team.
Very moving when he got emotional. Thanks to all who took part.
What a character Steve Morgan is, and amazingly lucid recall. I never knew glider pilots made it to the bridge. Thank you so much.
Huge respect to Mr. morgan and his comrades for their bravery. To hear a close up account of the action was extremely moving and certainly. Made the story so interesting.
Huge respect to the Germans and their bravery for putting in a heroic defense of Europe against the commie threat and their Brit slaves allies.
Simply brilliant story telling. Thank you so much for your service.
A remarkable story Stephen. Utmost respect you and your comrades. It was a pleasure and a privilege to host you today. Very best wishes, Frank
Really invaluable account, glad this has been recorded for us to remember
Sgt joy was my great grandfather he never told anyone about his time during operation market garden
You must be very proud of his time here. I can't imagine what went through their minds❤
An absolute treasure. What a wonderful man, Steve is. Thank you for uploading this excellent video.
absolutely wonderful.thankyou so much for making this video.what a remarkable man,his recall of events is amazing.i've watched a lot of ww2 videos but none have conveyed the actual feel of being in battle like this one and on such a personal level.
Balls of steel .Every one of them.
God Bless him,thanks for recording this. Incredible
That REME new you was an angel and would survive, that’s why he was always behind you. God bless you sir.
thank you for recording this..such a good account..worth postarity
Thank you for this video. It’s interesting to hear from the actual people involved. I highly recommend anyone interested to watch the film/Documentary .Theirs is the glory . made in 1945 as the war ended released in 46 its is a re-enactment of the battle with survivors playing themselves with graves ,war damage , and an actual panther tank that had been knocked out but repaired enough to move .
Awesome, a legend, able to return to tell his story ... Respect.
Sincere thanks & respect.
A real hero .......not a pathetic David Beckham ......
Dave is my hero
10:00 - important understated/ forgotten contribution of the 2 or 3 British airborne anti-tank guns that got into the Arnhem perimeter. The movie A Bridge Too Far ignored them, and unfortunately, the official British Royal artillery site doesn't mention their presence in the Arnhem perimeter battle either.Fantastic to have a clip that explicitly accounts for their presence with a first hand account!
thanks so much for this
Well done on recording this.
Will wat is een handige weg om op korte termkijn met je in contact te komen?
Hello, I'm sorry I cannot speak Dutch. Do you speak English at all?
The German machine gunner who keeps retrieving his cap.... how incomprehensible war is.
When was this filmed? What an ally bloke.
+Lukas Villa-Landa Hello Lukas, sorry for the very late reply! This was filmed in 2012. Steve visits Arnhem for the commemoration every year and will be again this year.
Sounds horrific
4:41 ? wut ?Mohammed ???
wahoo mohamed it was the battle cry of the 1st parachute brigade
Yes, the story dates back to their time in North Africa, where they heared local people say this. They picked it up as a battle cry.
thankyou for this was a pleasure to watch, he captivated me from start to finish, well done for getting it recorded i think this is a very important primary source of information for this battle, thankyou!
What an incredible video. An incredible man 🙏🏼
A fantastic story
Thank you. All the best to you.
Always great to hear these first-hand accounts and his feels very accurate.
Very interesting to hear about the anti tank gun manned by soldiers from a glider. My grandmother as a little kid lived in the row of houses where the last stand was fought. She told me story's about it and part of one story is that they fled out of their house with pillows covering their ears due to the heavy cannon that was shooting... they fled to a house a bit more up the road. This was a butcher and had a cellar with really thick walls to keep the meat cold. Eventually they fled towards the area Geitenkamp (where i live now). This is the highest point of arnhem and they could see the entire battle from there. Rest in peace brave men... Lest we forget.
We meet on Friday at the "hospital" in Oosterbeek.Thank you Sir... also for your story`s!
Great story, what a top bloke.
Good man.
thank you mister Steve morgan and all the others,without you guys we spoke german now here in holland
