Interesting one... the cemetery at Cassino is one of the most metropolitan I know of. Personally I think it is difficult to answer a question like this: the Brits slogged away throughout the fighting. The Americans performed incredibily in crossing the Rapido. The Maories fought well at the Station. The NZ and Indian Engineers pulled off a miracle at Cavendish Road. And the Poles finally took what was left, while the old Battle Axe Division pushed up the Liri Valley... it was a combined effort, wasn't it?
