All other personnel were briefed the following day. On the morning of the 17th of September 1944, the Battalion moved to Barkston Heath airfield where they boarded transport aircraft and took off at 11.30am. They landed at Renkum Heath, to the west of the town of Arnhem, at between 2.03pm and 2.08pm and had assembled by 2.45pm with only three men missing. They moved off from the drop zone at 3.40pm. Twenty minutes later they arrived at a railway station where they were briefed by an officer of the Reconnaissance Corps that there were enemy troops further up the railway line to their east and tanks on the road to the north. Unable to get up the railway line, they set out up the Amsterdamseweg, by which time the enemy tanks had withdrawn. At 5pm R Company attacked strong enemy positions astride the road, inflicting heavy casualties among the enemy troops and forcing them back. The Company then advanced to the Wolfhezerweg junction, where they became heavily engaged with enemy tanks and infantry and were unable to disengage when the rest of the Battalion went around this obstacle. Contact with R Company was lost at 6pm. At 7.30pm, John Bune was sent back to make contact with R Company, returning at 10pm with the second in command of the Company who reported that, although they had managed to disengage, forward progress was slow as half of his men had become casualties and were in need of evacuation. The Battalion Medical Officer was ordered to take all available jeeps to evacuate the wounded with John Bune joining this party for the return to R Company’s positions. Although the convoy of wounded later reached Oosterbeek and were delivered to the dressing station at the Hartenstein Hotel, John Bune’s group is believed to have run into an ambush in the vicinity of the Dreyenseweg during which he was killed. He was recorded as missing at 3am the following morning. His body was recovered and was buried alongside the Dreyenseweg but was later exhumed and moved to its present location.

* Recommendation for the appointment as Member of the Order of the British Empire (Military Division) for Lieut. & QM T.G. Bush: "This officer joined the 156 Bn. Parachute Regt at Jenin, Palestine in the spring of 1943. He had previously been a B.O.W.O. [= Brigade Ordnance Warrant Officer] in the Western Desert and had no experience of work in an Infantry Bn. The "Q" side of the Bn. was in a very bad state but Lieut. Bush, although lacking any knowledge of Infantry Bn. routine very soon put his department on a very sound footing and after that date the "Q" side of the unit functioned with admirable efficiency. This was entirely due to the officer's energy, his ability and capacity for hard work. In addition to his normal duties he took a keen and energetic interest in training and learning the duties of an infantry officer. Lieut. Bush prepared the Bn. for the Italian operation and saw active service with it there. On returning to England in December 1943 he [mobilized?] the Bn. rapidly and well, although he had had no experience of service in England, with its different practices of administration, except as a junior NCO [= Non-Commissioned Officer] at the beginning of the war. He went into action again with the Bn. at ARNHEM, where he served with extreme gallantry and technical skill, commanding a platoon for the last few days of the operation after all the other officers bar two had become casualties." [Recommended by Maj. G.S. Powell, commanding 1st Bn Para Regt, supported by Maj. J.C.H. Eyles, commanding 1 Para Bde (in absence of Brigadier), Maj.Gen. R.E. Urquhart, Commander 1 Airborne Division, and Lt.Gen. F.A.M. Browning, Comd Airborne Corps] (Citation courtesy of Mr Michael D. Bush)
