AN evening with Steve Morgan, one of the last survivors who fought on the bridge at Arnhem, is being presented by Chipping Norton Royal British Legion.

The evening is being held at the Crown and Cushion Hotel, in Chipping Norton, on Tuesday April 14, at 6.30pm for 7pm.

Steve Morgan enlisted on July 8 1943, just four days before his 18th birthday.

After 16 weeks training with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, in Colchester, he volunteered for airborne forces. He went to RAF Ringway for parachute training in March 1944 and was posted to the 2nd Parachute Battalion where he took part in Operation Market Garden. He was eventually taken prisoner by the Germans.
