BEAST Posted June 16, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2010 I have been in contact with two vets from the 194th GIR who participated in Operation Varsity. They were in different gliders, but both remembered that the glider pilots took photos of the group shortly before take off. Has anyone seen these photos from Varsity? Also, which Troop Carrier Group(s) were involved in transporting the glider riders for Varsity? And finally, has anyone seen photos of the paratroopers just prior to loading? Thanks in advance!!!

BEAST Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share #2 Posted June 16, 2010 Well, I found a partial answer to one of my questions, the OOB for the IX Troop Carrier Command can be found here: http://www.publicenquiry.co.uk/commands/tc9th.html Now to research the different groups.
