I was wondering if any of you have any information on the allied advance from Rome up to the Arno - June and July of '44. Particularly of the battles fought at Belvedere above Suvereto (by the US 100th - all men of Japanese descent) and Cecina.
Annything (however minimal) on this period would help me much towards a planned publication
As to Gen Clark on the other pages - no more info there thanks!
| There are several books on the Japanese-Americans, and logically, I can't remember the name of the book on the 100th Battalion. I only remember the cover, showing half of Japanese male Hawaii standing at attention at a ceremony before they went off to war. One of those thigns that drive you nuts, I'm afraid.
