Hello. I guess you came across this? The Battle of Mozzagrogna | Royal Fusiliers & Gurkhas | November 1943

I want to know more about the 166th. I would love to know more. According to his obituary he fought in north Africa and italy Chesley was related to my great grandmother 166th newfoundland bombardier
