- Two British soldiers who were killed 80 years ago during the Battle of Arnhem have finally been laid to rest with full military honours.
Private Henry Moon and Lieutenant Dermod Green Anderson died fighting in Operation Market Garden, the major airborne offensive aimed at securing strategically important crossings in the Netherlands.
They were buried in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, which is the final resting place of more than 1,700 Second World War service personnel.

The Dutch are wonderful at researching unknown soldiers and airmen who fell in Holland in WW2 and identifying them, so they can have a proper burial with honour. In fact, the Dutch government and military see it as their duty to do so.
@@keithlillis7962 Seconded
The Netherlands please
@@chrishiking8818 Zit niet te zeiken man. Hij bedoeld het goed.

They recently brought up a Lancaster from one of their lakes , great work by the Dutch 🇳🇱, all paid for by their government, as you say , they see it as their duty for their liberation
The Dutch people are pure class
Thank you.
Thank you Josh, we also owe a lot to your ancestors.
As an American, I'm proud to have had such great allies as the British all these years. It really hit home when they showed the soldier from the burial party wearing the same NATO medal from Afghanistan that I wear. God bless the British, and God bless the Dutch.
and god bless America.
Thankyou for your service.
Us Aussies got the same from Afganistan. It's considered a "foreign" medal as we're not part of NATO but it was great that NATO recognised us and the Kiwis as well. Even have a NATO/OTAN patch somewhere that was given to me.
Thank you Netherlands for your support.
Thank god there are still people in this world that will never forget.
An uncle of me lived in Oosterbeek. Every year around September 17 he invited British veterans. They slept and had food in my uncle and aunt's house. He arranged everything, including attending the commemorations.
In the Netherlands we take great care in remembering the soldiers who died for us. Never forget.
I have an uncle buried at Osterbeek he was KIA in September 43.
@@johnmc128 I am sorry to hear. Your uncle was a hero. God bless.
That woman is the same one from the Lancaster bomber crew that was found she does some amazing work with those lost from WW2.
Thank you.
5 million German solderers murdered who 70% had to be cremated ,and the brits spew this out
Deeply moving to see the reverence with which these heroes were buried eighty years on.
RIP Henry and Dermod, both members of the Greatest Generation.
5 million German solderers murdered who 70% had to be cremated ,and the brits spew this out
Never forgotten.
Strange how 5 million German solderers murdered who 70% had to be cremated ,and the brits spew this out and you forget
Never.
May God bless the souls of all these wonderful men who sacrificed their lives for all future generations to live free.

Market Garden and the whole of it's aftermath still live in the hearts of may dutch people. We commemorate the event's of the liberation of the Netherlands every year and pay or respects to those who fell for our freedom.
You will all way be remembered my countryman may you rest in peace 🏴🇬🇧✝️❤️⚔️
Every year we are going to margraten and oosterbeek and our local cemetry to honor the fallen ,and every time i,m crying when i see how very young some lads were thank you for the battles fought for peace.A 1000 and many more thank you.
And in the morning we shall remember them. 🇬🇧 Thankyou Netherlands.
I am grateful to all involved that these two soldiers have finally been laid to rest in marked graves with the respect they deserve. My uncle, Lance Corporal Sydney Robert Chipperfield, 1st Bn The Hampshire Regiment, who was lost in December 1943, still íes in an unknown grave somewhere near the Garigliano river in Italy. I would give a great deal to be able to attend his funeral on behalf of my late mother, who mourned him until her dying day.
I'am truly sorry for your loss, it must be heartbreaking for you and your family not knowing where he is..Losing a child is horrific, not knowing where he is, is unbearable. I hope you can find some peace in the fact that we're not giving up on finding these lost souls.
I have a family member who was one of the first killed in the HMS Hood in the Armoury , he's still with his ship where she sank .
Thankyou for your service….. Rest in peace perfect peace
The dutch are still very grateful for liberation!!!!! They will never forget!!!!
5 million German solderers murdered who 70% had to be cremated ,and the brits spew this out
Great so see the public genuinely caring about the military and the sacrifices they made 🇬🇧❤️what a hero and what a day for the family to see him finally honoured as the hero he is.
yes we anglo-saxon do care about the brave 5 million German solderers murdered who 70% had to be cremated ,and the brits spew this out
The Dutch look on it as a debt of honour , they were occupied and know the experience and never forget who set them free . There is a constant huge budget and hundreds of volunteers working on this sort of honour . God bless them 🇬🇧
I cannot thank the Dutch enough for their tireless work in finding a repatriating our fallen heroes. Your work is incredible.
i read a statement once from a dutch resistance girl she said every time the british flew over us we knew we would be liberated one day, my father was a liberator of the dutch who now honour these brave boys who died for their freedom god bless them all
They used to flash the morse signal V for victory to bombers passing over at night.
At the American Military Cemetery at Magraten, Dutch families have adopted the graves of our fallen men. The responsibility includes keeping their plot clean and tidy. They pass down this honor to their kids. They also try to contact and keep contact with the loved one's family . 35,000 Americans are cared for very well in Repose by the Lord... and the Blessed Dutch.
Two hero’s from a generation of heroes, it was touching to see the locals turn out for the burial ceremony to honour the two soldiers who help liberate the Netherlands
They deserved the respect. We can never give enough, in comparison to the sacrifices of that generation. RIP
Very emotional. A fitting tribute. Means a lot. My Father was involved.
Mine too, He was captured and was a POW until freed at the end of the war.
@oil3616 I met my Dad's drill sergeant here in Australia. He was like your Dad, captured, and spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp. Humble man.
@@oil3616 My Grandfather served with The King's own Scottish Borderers and was captured at Oosterbeek, following 2 failed escape attempts remained a POW until the war ended he passed away in 2004
As a dutchman , we continue to remember . This year it's been 80 years . Google bridge to liberation .
Thank you for finding and honouring our lost.
Your kindness is very much appreciated.
I've got an ancestor buried in the Neatherlands. I've not been to his grave but an Aunt has and she said it was so beautifully well kept. We love the Dutch here in Australia, you're always welcome!
Excellent story, Operation Market Garden commenced on the 17th of September 1944, and both were buried on Wednesday 18 September 2024, lost but then found.
Lost but never forgotten.
The cemetery is an immensely moving place, beautifully maintained, and respected by the local population. We visited there in 2011 as my cousin, Serjeant Arnold ( Arnie) Phillips is buried there. He died of wounds 25 September 1944( almost 80 years). He was a glider co-pilot to SSgt Peter Clarke. They managed to land their Horsa safely, and Peter survived as a POW, after heroic service as a medic. Rest in peace, all who lie there.
Thank you for your service sir
If you have never been to that cemetery, I highly recommend it. Beautiful location, well cared for. The Dutch remember, perhaps better than any other nation.
Yeah, but the well cared for cemetery you mention is maintained and overseen by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which cares for the graves of all the Empire/Commonwealth fallen. The Dutch have nothing to do with it.
I went there 2 years ago to see my grandfathers brothers grave. sad place and to think they never came home.
He might not be home but he is among friends
RIP young man,now rest easy with your friends,thank you for your service 🌹
It’s a great tribute to a lost but a found soldier.
The Dutch remain, down through the generations, grateful to the Allies for liberating them from the horrors of the Nazi occupation. The size of crowd that attended did not surprise me at all.
RIP from Germany😢🇬🇧❤
No more brother wars from UK😐🇩🇪❤
@@Dave-hu5hr Anglo Saxon and Saxons belong together
@@ndie8075So do Iroquois and Huron. What did you smoke?
Thank you to our Dutch friends who never forget.
May they rest in peace and respect to giving us freedom in the Netherlands
I hope one day my great uncle remains will be found and identified, has he was killed in operation market garden on 20th September 44. 🙏🏻😞
It is great to hear and see this. They fought so we could have a life filled with choices.
Rest in peace Lads. You've earned it. Thank you for defending the freedom of future generations. Thank you also to our Dutch friends. Always loyalty and honour.
So young.
We will remember them
Visited that cemetery , such a beautiful place , the Soldiers buried their are drawn from many religions and cap badges , including many of his Green Howards comrades . RIP
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission does an incredible job keeping these cemeteries spotless. In the Netherlands are almost 500 cemeteries with the graves of fallen soldiers, airmen and sailors, all very much looked after by locals.
We’ll never forget our liberators ❤️
Very Moving. We will remember them.
Thank you 🙏
At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
Many of the crowd would’ve been local grateful Dutch taking time to pay their respects.
RIP soldiers.
Bless that soldier, and his family
Rest in Peace finally with your brothers. Not forgotten.

Green Howard’s is from my region in the north east. This feller is one of us. Thank you for your sacrifice it will never be forgotten.
Live in freedom indeed! Freedom is not free. It needs to be earned every day by all. We owe our brave warriors great thanks and eternal gratitude for each day of our freedom! God Bless them all.
We lack the courage to vote for it let alone fight for it. God bless that generation.
@@michaelbailey2476🐂💩many do that's why people like you hate us. We don't allow your prejudice
Exactly how it should be. What wonderful work all those people are doing to return these soldiers to their families. We owe them more than we could ever repay.
Thank you to the Dutch and for sending them home. It was nice to see them have the funeral they deserve and the respect they received. Thank you for giving us our freedom. May each & everyone of them rest in peace.❤❤
Nothing on the BBC
Rest in peace Great soldier's... Salute from retired army Sarawak Borneo, Malaysian..
My Father was part of the 1st airborne division at Arnhem. He lived to tell the tale but according to my aunts he was never the same. To me he was a great man . Kind did his best for us and I never knew what he was like before obviously. He very rarely spoke about it but he did say the Dutch people were wonderful and did what they could to help . I always thought somewhere he harboured guilt because he survived and many of his friends perished. RIP to him and his comrades in Holland ❤
R,I,P Moved to silence…
How sad and fitting, that he is buried in these days when the UK is limiting freedom of speech and other freedoms. This man belonged to a different UK, a UK he died fighting for. It is also buried today with him.
So sad but true.
@@JACB006it's sad you are so ignorant that you think stopping hate speech is stopping freedom of expression. How would you like it if a stated you were the lowest of the low? Bet you'd complain
It is. Gross injustice. Keir Starmer's karma will hit him very hard. But this young man is forever in the hearts of so many Britsh people. And likewise in The Netherlands, were I live.
No matter which country, we must never forget the young service members that helped save the world.
As a Dutchman, I can say that we grow up with the a lot of respect for our liberators. My grandparents, and my city of Haarlem, were liberated by the Royal Canadian Army. Once again, thank you for liberating us!
My respects...fromChile!🇨🇱🇬🇧
Thank you!
"All gave some...some gave all." Thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart, Lads!
May God's face continue to shine on you EVERMORE!
Yes it's the same woman who did the amazing research of the missing 3 lads in the Lancaster , guy Martin presented it . really a wonderful story never to be forgotten, RIP lad and thank you .
R.i.p, thank you for your sacrifice
Rest in peace young man thank you for your service 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My parents generation, amazing group.
I have always loved the way the Netherlands have taken care of our American troops. They care for their graves and are very grateful for the troops that ran the Nazi's out of their land.
Thank you for your service and bravery. For all the brave men and women that died for our freedom, thank you.❤❤❤
Lt Dermod Anderson was a South African, fighting with the Airborne Division
RIP to these young men but make no mistake, you are not as free as you think you are.
As an American I just want to say Thank You to this brave young man. RIP
David Snowden shows a strong family resemblance to his great Uncle. RIP thank you for your service.
With utmost respect to the people who tend the graves of our fallen and to the small teams of people dedicated to identifying all remains that are found in an effort to identify them and ensure a proper burial for them in a marked grave....
God bless all who fought for freedom that we may live in peace and especially to those who never returned home to savour the peace they gave their lifes for .....my late father served from 1940-45 and he was my hero but he said the real heroes are the ones he left behind in France and across northern Europe.
We will remember them 🇬🇧
For ever thankful for those who made the ultimate sacrifice to lay down their lives so we can live in freedom ❤.
We don't live in freedom do we. My uncle was in the Grenadier Guards armoured spearhead trying to reach these guys, I dread to think what he would be thinking today.
It would be very bitter for him. Very sad.
This is a very touching Ceremony. So many people coming together to support the families and lay to rest very brave men, who lost their lives at such a young age, so that we could keep our freedoms. RIP. Thank you too for telling their stories. We needed to know. All the best.
Immense respect and dignity shown and given to these young soldiers. Very moving and again a reminder of how much we owe that generation.
RIP soldier.
I knew we in the United States continue to look for missing servicemen but I did not know that other countries do too.
Pray for all soldiers. 🙏🙏
May they Rest Peacefully 🥀🥀
We will remember them ! (64 years man - Belgium)
Rest in peace Private Moon and Lieutenant Anderson.
I would welcome the Dutch to colonize our failing nation of a fallen empire. They're so similar to us in so many ways.
No they aren't. In general the ones I've met are tolerant, off gat, trams and foreigners. This sounds like the UK to you? We've got fartage, Tommy watshisname this week and leanderthal. And you say we're like the Dutch?
@@DaveTwatty We have our fair share of right-wing loonies in the Netherlands as well. Not to mention the fact that the biggest political party in the Netherlands has some nasty extreme right tendencies. It's quite a stain on 80 years of Market-Garden.
@@raymondwestland2512 No.
We will Remember Them
I love how these men have finally been given a resting place and they’re known. I wish that could be the same for my grandfather. Pvt Dennis Lee, Y&L Regiment, 06 May 1943.
..that corner of a foreign land will forever be a part of England.........unlike many parts of England, now.......
Everything you just said is against everything to hey died for. Do not ever go to a remembrance day again. You defile it
@@DaveTwatty the soldier by Rupert, Brooke…. The Soldier….I don’t know how you possibly could have so misconstrued what I said….. maybe you should stay away from remembrance day
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
Never forgotten
The Dutch put us to shame...we dont forget in this household.
I guess it's easy for us in a way. Without brave young Brits, Americans, Canadians and probably many more.. Where would we be? What would we be?
@@ttaibesorry but most don't forget. If you see, in the UK, a state there in many places at 11.00am on 11, 11 there are two minutes silnce

Rest in Peace, mighty warriors. Op Market Garden was a terrible idea, in hindsight.
My great uncle James “Jimmy” Higgins was in 2 Para with the boys on the bridge and that great leader of men Lt Col Johnny Frost .he landed on the 11th of sept but was sadly KIA on the 19th of sept .he was only married two months before while on leave .he was 23 years old .his name is on panel 9 at Groesbeek cemetery .but I hope one day he will also be found and laid to rest properly as he’s a hero of mine and deserves to rest with the other lads that are laid to rest with a proper headstone and the honours that go with it …RIP all those Emperors of Arnhem you will never be forgotten …
Thank you for your service from a L.I .vetren🇬🇧 and a big thanks to all the Dutch people ❤
Another unit that was disbanded by a shrinking budget. The unit was active form 1688 to 2006.
The honor that is bestowed upon this man reflects the values of the nation that bore him and continues that respect for its forces. Lest we forget.
