Oosterbeek Church first featured in the fighting at Arnhem on 19th September 1944, when Major Richard Lonsdale, second in command of 11th Bn Parachute Regiment, gathered the survivors of the fighting around St Elisabeth Hospital.
The defenders of this sector of the Oosterbeek Perimeter became known as 'Lonsdale Force' and the church was soon known as 'Lonsdale Church'. Close by was Kate Ter Horst's house, used as an aid post, guns of the 1st Airlanding Light Regiment dug in around the church site, and at the close of the battle, there were many foxholes of the survivors of 1st Airborne.
South of the church, and visible from the back of it was the Lower Rhine, and it was close to here that Operation Berlin - the evacuation of 1st Airborne - took place from Driel on 25th/26th September.

A Tameside policing operation has cracked down on ASB with proactive patrols tackling everything from drug use to problematic street drinking.
A proactive policing operation was launched in June, with funding providing extra patrols across Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas identified as having repeat offences, including local transport hubs and shopping spots.
Officers target these areas at peak times and further undertake disruption visits to pre-emptively stop incidents.
The operation has seen a crackdown and multiple actions and positive outcomes. July, August, and September saw a range of results in Ashton town centre, including 12 arrests, 28 stop-searches, 33 public space protection order warnings issued, and 30 logs responded to.
As an example of the reduction in quarter three of this year, August reported 30 incidents of ASB, while September recorded 10 – showing the positive effects of the ongoing work.
The operation has meant more patrols have been targeting the issues that the public care about and ensuring that criminals and anti-social behaviour are stopped in their tracks.
Tameside work.
As part of anti-social behaviour week, on Wednesday, neighbourhood officers in Ashton town centre secured two arrests on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug, which resulted in street cautions.
Further cautions were issued for someone smoking cannabis in public, while other people were provided with words of advice.
Sergeant Rob Froggatt, from GMP’s Tameside district, said: “People want to see officers out and about in the community, engaging with the public, and locking up those who disrupt their lives. Our operation is delivering exactly that.
“We know and appreciate just how much anti-social behaviour can disrupt people’s lives – whether it’s people taking drugs in public or intimidating people in town centres – and our work is designed to crack down on exactly those sort of offences.
“In addition to our own work, we liaise closely with partners in the community, including local charities and services, to ensure we stop ASB from progressing into more serious offences. Likewise, by conducting preventative engagement work, we can stop the offences from ever happening.
“If you are having issues with ASB, I would urge you to get in touch with your local team, who will be best-placed to offer advice and support on the issues you are having.”

Prison Liaison Officers alongside colleagues from Challenger and Specialist Operations executed two simultaneous warrants in Little Hulton this morning (Thursday 12 December 2024).
The warrants at addresses on Captain Fold Road and Ordsall Avenue, were targeted after an investigation into drones flying contraband including drugs, phones, tobacco, and other illicit items into HMP Hindley, led officers to those properties.
The investigation began on Saturday 28 September 2024 after officers taking part in a proactive operation in Wigan, located a drone heading in the direction of HMP Hindley.
A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of conveying list ‘A’ items into a prison, however, no drone or contraband were recovered at the time of his arrest.
Officers continued to work through the information they had which led them to two addresses in Little Hulton this morning.
Although no arrests were made, officers did manage to seize a bladed article and a number of mobiles, thought to be in the process of being conveyed into prison.
Constable Fenney from our Wigan district said: "This morning's warrant is just one part of our sustained, strategic approach to combating drug drops via drones and throw overs at HMP Hindley.
“We've been executing targeted operations to dismantle the networks behind these aerial contraband and drug deliveries, but our work doesn't stop here. We're working closely with prison authorities, following up on leads and pursuing those who we believe are responsible for these drops.
“I would like to remind the people of Wigan to continue to report your concerns to us, as all credible reports of information helps us build an intelligence picture to continue with our work of conducting meaningful warrants.
“You can do this direct by calling 101 or through our Live Chat function at gmp.police.uk, or alternatively speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their website.”
