A mate is currently touring Sicily, and sending me pictures of pillboxes etc. with a 'wassat?' sort of message. My answers being mostly, 'it's a pillbox, mate, whaddya want? Blood?', the thought occurs that some of the more travelled/knowledgeable on here might have better info. Any idea what/where these might be - scraps of specific history? Long shot, but you never know. Some clever buggers round here. This one 'On the road to Syracuse': ~A
Did six weeks in Sicily with the 78th div but can't remember seeing either of those two pillboxes. If I rember rightly we have a few local Sicilians on the forum who might be able to help. Ron
One for Lee - The chap we know at Kew is into all this Italian 'stuff'. He found a map of Sicily the other week containing all the bunkers and MG positions, trenches etc on the island including the names/types I believe. I must say it was a bloody nice map
