Hello Hawkeye — The Operation Market Garden page does not mention the Medal of Honor. I'm guessing it is Joe E. Mann. If that is correct, I'll tweak both pages. Thanks, and belated happy new year. user:JMOprof ©¿©¬ 19:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake; there were two Medals of Honor awarded for Market-Garden: to Joe E. Mann of the 101st Airborne Division, and John R. Towle of the 82d Airborne Division. The Market-Garden article only mentions one of the five Victoria Crosses. In addition to the RAF's Flight Lieutenant David Lord, VCs were awarded to Captain John Hollington Grayburn of the 2nd Parachute Battalion, Captain Lionel Ernest Queripel of the 10th Parachute Battalion, and Major Robert Henry Cain and Lance Sergeant John Baskeyfield of the 2nd Battalion, South Staffordshire Regiment, although they are listed in the Battle of Arnhem article.

Hawkeye — done, I think. I came to this page to see how tropical medicine was being used in Market Garden. At least that's what the Bugle made me believe you wrote about. ☺ user:JMOprof ©¿©¬ 17:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
