On this episode, Mark welcomes Mark Green to discuss the Victoria Cross and particularly those awarded for the Battle of Arnhem (17th-26th September 1944) during the Second World War as discussed in his book 'Arnhem VCs'. They discuss the background to the Victoria Cross from it's investiture, the big picture around Arnhem, and also the five recipients of that award for valour as a result of their actions during the World War Two campaign to cross the River Rhine into Germany.
