Peter-Alexander van Teeseling was born on the 24th of April 1986. He is a student at the Mozaïek College in Oosterbeek. When he was ten years old he visited the veterans, who came to Oosterbeek during the commemorations of the Battle of Arnhem, at their meeting place, Café Schoonoord

These contacts led to writing letters back and forth. The correspondence between the veterans and Peter-Alexander became more and more extensive. This led to the idea to ask the veterans to put their personal stories on paper. By now Peter-Alexander has a whole collection of stories of veterans of which a part is published in 'Over & Over'.

Peter-Alexander also collects books, military objects and other memorabilia that relate to the Battle of Arnhem. Recently he collaborated with his collection in organising an exposition at the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein'
