Wot no Chad -
San Pietro was and I suppose still is - along way from the Cavendish rd.,
San Pietro was an American debacle by Gen Mark Clark whose Alma Mater - West Point still refuses to show the film of the almost total destruction of the 36th Texas Divsion as being the worst case of generalship known to man !

San Pietro is South West of Cassino and was fought over in december '43 whereas the Cavendish rd (N.E.) attempt by the Kiwis was not until late February/March '44
Cheers
