This short clip from Theirs Is The Glory (1946) features men from the 1st Airborne that served at Arnhem.
Major Lonsdale revisited Arnhem a year later to replay his part in the battle for which he was awarded a Bar to his Distinguished Service Medal. His citation included "his personal example and contempt of danger was an inspiration to all those with whom he came into contact". His speech at the Oosterbeek church which was at the centre of the troops stronghold on the perimeter of the battle included his now famous lines:
"We must fight for our lives and stick together. We've fought the Germans before - in North Africa , Sicily and Italy. They weren't good enough for us then, and they're bloody well not good enough for us now. They're up against the finest soldiers in the world".

The edited clip shows Charles Holland learning the news about his 'lost' brother and setting off to North Africa in search of clues about his whereabouts. As the 'press pack', which is featured on the Black Tent page and issued to cinemas on the release of the film in 1956, asks "Was his brother killed in the savage fight against Rommel in the Western Desert in 1942? Or did he survive to make his life among the wandering Bedouins of North Africa?". The trailer illustrates a number of scenes from the unfolding story and takes us up to the point where, with some help from his trusted guide (Donald Pleasance), David discovers the Black Tent and the adventure can then begin.
