My grandfather was killed at Arnhem and I visited his grave with my mother on the 40th anniversary in 84 by coach from London. On the way I got chatting to lots of veterans who were also on the coach , the journey seemed to be taking much longer than it should have so the old paras asked the driver if he was ok and he admitted he was a bit lost . Turns out he was a Sherman tank driver for xxx corps back in 44 to which the reply from the old paras was for fucks sake you couldn't find the place 40 years ago you'd think you'd know the way by now ? Priceless, thank you old friends I guess most have you have gone by now but as a young man I was grateful how you treated me and my mother

John Addison actually was part of a tank crew during the inland push after Normandy. His tank was hit and caught fire, Mr Addison managed to pull out one of his crewmen although he burned his handes severely, yet the rest of them perished. He took part in Market Garden Op. The original album indicates that he composed this movie's beautiful music also as a way to honor his fallen comrades.

The British always took into consideration things like civilian casualties, British Forces casualties, local destruction etc. After all they had been through this before in WWI before the yanks turned up. The U.S. Forces had men in huge numbers and used them up with more abandon than everyone else. They also didn't give a shit about "collateral damage" as it is now called. BTW, I am not, repeat NOT talking about the G.I.s they respected (mostly) the civilians. The U.S. Command couldn't have cared less.

This had such a huge effect on me when I first watched it as a young boy of six. I lived in the Solomon Islands, where the detritus of war was every where as soon as you stepped off the road into the long grass. There were mortars, hand grenades, bayonets, water bottles and helmets with bullet holes in them. I’d been raised on stories of my grandfather who was a founding member of Britain’s Special Forces. This movie moved me to tears as a child and the music stirred such pride in me. God bless all those who fought against the fascist and National Socialist tide and that of Imperial Japan.

I love this theme, it strikes the very core of my heart. When worrying about little things like exams and girlfriends, this theme reminds me of the heroism, bravery, valor, and sacrifice that these soldiers put in WW2 and other great conflicts. *SALUTES*

The ultimate victory tune. I listen to it whenever I pass an exam or achieve something meaningful. It reminds me that higher education is a war that can be won against all odds, always. Right now I'm after a 6 hour battle with another chapter of my BA thesis, it's 2AM and I feel like a real victor.

This what we died for even if its a hollywood movie. As an American Vet of the cold war, I had a chance to visit the Bridge that this was filmed at , and I must omitt i t brought tears to my eyes when I walked acrossed it. And to those who fought there I salute you all both Living and dead. God Speed and God Bless you ALL.

@Sam Clarke that’s because one of the bridges (Arnhem I think) was too modern for the movie so they used a different location

A fantastic theme. Also an excellent marching song since it is so upbeat and dynamic. Great stuff! I can't thank you enough for sharing this here amongst us. Ken Palmer

I think it represents the attitude of the soldiers perfectly. Always keeping up-beat, positive and resilient.

After 26 years in the US Army, to include a year in South Vietnam, and seven in what was West Germany, this music has a lot of meaning to me. While stationed in Frankfurt, Germany the Soldiers of our 3rd Armored Division would provide an honor guard to decorate the grave of Major General Maurice Rose at a US cemetery at Margraten, Holland. The General was killed in Germany leading the men of the 3rd US Armored Division during WW II. The people of Margraten were grateful for all the US Army did during that war.

Hancock, I've got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. My original plan has been scuppered now that the jeeps haven't arrived. My communications are completely broken down. Do you really believe any of that can be helped by a cup of tea? Couldn't hurt, sir.
