Description
Made famous in the movie, `A Bridge Too Far', the Old Rectory in Oosterbeek was the home of Jan and Kate ter Horst and their family, and became an aid station during the heavy fighting. With Jan off fighting for the resistance, the decision was left up to Kate to allow the British to set-up an aid station in their home. As the situation grew more dire, she took on more and more responsibilities. One responsibility was to keep a list of the men who died in her house. The following is a detailed examination of those men who died in her home.
