The Sosabowksi memorial unveiled in 2006 at the monument in Driel.

A total of 97 Polish  soldiers were killed at Driel and Oosterbeek in 1944. The plaque now lists 93 names. The plan is to replace the plaque for a version with all 97 names.

The first version of the monument erected by the Driel people in honour of the Poles.

The present monument was erected in 1961. This is a photo from that time, still surrounded by greenery and in the background the parish house can be recognized.

<p>On September 21<sup>st</sup> 1946, a sober monument commemorating the events of two years earlier was unveiled. A new memorial to the Polish Parachute Brigade was erected 15 years later. Sculptor Jan Vlasblom designed a modern sculpture of 'youth holding on to freedom like a precious jewel'. The stone above it is like a parachute. On the pedestal ‘Surge Polonia’ (Poland will rise) was placed. The efforts of the Poles are commemorated every year here.</p>
