From 1946 until the 25th<\/sup> commemoration in 1969 the Airborne Memorial Service was organised by the Oosterbeeks Airborne Committee in cooperation with the Airborne Forces Security Fund (later PRAFC). From 1970 the organisation was carried out by mr. Van Lerven and mr. Rudolphie. Jan Rudolphie MBE led the organisation on his own from 1975 until 1984 and from 1985 until 1994 together with Lieutenant Colonel Gerrit Pijpers OBE (retr).
