| In New Zealand the Italian campaign is very well remembered It is where the 2NZEF suffered its highest casualties. I remember my Father and many other " grim digs" all now sadly gone, talk of the mud, the poverty unlike any here had known, the bonds that grew with ordinary Italians and obviously the terrible battles, especially Cassino.
I would hope the importance of the campaign, any campaign for that matter , in the Allied victory , is never trivialised or forgotten.
The men do not deserve it. |
