“Sergeant Harry Houghton, 91, of ‘10 Para’ and Mentioned in Dispatches, also had a dramatic story to tell: “Having parachuted in on Day 2, there was firing all around me. I was hit by shrapnel while trying to hook a gun onto a jeep. But a leather wallet given me by my sister took most of it – it undoubtedly saved my life! After being taken POW I was finally liberated by the Russians in Odessa.”
Harry has left a lasting legacy to his comrades who did not survive Arnhem. Local artist Fransje Povel-Speleers drew on Harry’s and others’ dramatic experiences to create a unique ‘terracota’ tableau depicting the fallen emerging from their Arnhem graves and returning to life in their full glory.
