Arnhem –Urquhart House


Moving with 3 Para to the bridge was the GOC of the 1st Airborne Division Major General Urquhart. As 3 Para became embroiled in the street fighting, General Urquhart became separated and was forced to hide in an attic for 2 days to evade capture.
 
He hid in no 14 Zwarteweg Arnhem adjacent to the Elizabeth hospital.
