Netherlands exhibition to feature Hanley war veteran.

An exhibition about a Stoke-on-Trent soldier who died during a World War II operation is set to go on display in the Netherlands - as a researcher hopes to find local relatives.

In September, an exhibition will share the story of Private Edward E. Hird, from Hanley, who died in September 1944 in Oosterbeek, the Netherlands during Operation Market Garden.

Every year the Renkumse Molen (mill of Renkum) hosts a new exhibition, and this year it will focus on the Stoke-on-Trent soldier following research by Renkum local and mechanical engineer Jaap van Genderen.
