		Urquhart pointed out that the American airborne Divisions were receiving more than their fair share of aircraft, but Browning dissuaded him from thinking that this had anything to do with American political pressure, and correctly explained that the divisions were given priority depending on how close they were to the starting line.
		All Urquhart could think about was that he had to return to HQ as soon as possible, and he was quite prepared to destroy the SP gun using the few grenades they had at their disposal and then make a dash for it.
		Roy Urquhart's name became famous as a result of Arnhem, and for his actions there he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath and later received the Dutch Bronze Lion.

	Reasons for the Failure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The photographs that Urquhart presented to Browning clearly showed a small number of tanks very close to the 1st Airborne's sphere of operations, but a small number of tanks did not automatically mean the presence of an entire Panzer Division.
		Urquhart's decision to leave his Headquarters on Sunday afternoon is frequently condemned as ill-judged and unnecessary, yet it should be remembered that a commander can only command when he is aware of what is happening, and he will have a far clearer picture of this if he sees it for himself.
		Urquhart took no more risks in this regard than any other airborne divisional commander was to do during the War, it was only unfortunate for him that circumstances conspired to ensnare him.

		General Urquhart was appointed Commissioner of Clan Urquhart for Scotland by the chief in 1982 and he took the lead, assisted by Bruce Urquhart of Craigston, in organising the British branch of the Clan Urquhart Association which had been established as an international organisation in 1976 by the Chief of the Clan.

		It certainly would have been a good idea, but so far as Urquhart was concerned at this time there was little opposition lying between the drop zone and the bridge and he probably thought he could nip forward and back again without any trouble.
		John Frost believed that a commander ought to be armed only with a pair of binoculars and so should very much take a back seat in events to concentrate on his command whilst others got on with the dirty work, but other commanders preferred to lead from the front.
