    Hi
    Can anyone advise as to where the 5th Grenadier Guards sailed from to land at Anzio?
    Tunisia, Sicily, southern Italy?
    Thanks

    Reading on I expect this was part of Naples:
    Both quotes from a short thread: Anzio, another day...

    Wiki helps:
    From: Castellammare di Stabia - Wikipedia Note different spelling of the name.

    There maybe other threads here, I did not look further.

    Thank you for all your replies

    Part of Capt Holhers company. Capt Hohler won a MC I believe in this action
    We have a letter from him to my grandmother after my grandfather went missing during the fighting
    My grandfather was eventually established to have been Injured, captured and imprisoned at Nienburg (part of Stalag X1A)
