Its true there definitely was a Myrtle even referenced briefly in A Bridge Too Far

Pat Glover

and a bit more of the man's story http://www.pegasusarchive.org/arnhem/pat_glover.htm

A contemporary account of a ceremony at All Saints Church, in December 1945, captures the hurt: “The door slowly opened and the Last Post sounded. Every heart in that filled church broke. You could hear the sobs and feel the pain. Somehow, the whole place seemed too small to contain the sorrow.”

That brings a lump to the throat.

 

[1969]
