Artist’s impression of the evacuation of 1st Airborne Division.
‘A large burning building to our left cast sufficient reflected light on the water to show the nearness of the enemy bank and we also then saw flashes and came under automatic fire from straight above and ahead. As soon as the boat grounded, we jumped into the water and took cover behind a groyne until the firing stopped. … Anxious calling brought no response … Being concerned by the fact that our craft had been carried downstream we waded back into the river and with some difficulty pushed the boat against the current … until we came across a Dukw stranded half on the bank. A quick investigation revealed two soldiers hiding in side. … they knew nothing of any other men … it was time for us to return … the paddles of the crew being supplemented by passengers using spades or trenching shovels.’
