Operation Shingle is the name given to an amphibious landing by the Allies in Italy during World War II. It took place on January 22, 1944, under the command of United States Major General John P. Lucas. The object, which was successfully achieved, was to land sufficient forces to outflank the Germans along the Winter Line and set up an assault on Rome itself. The fighting which resulted after the landing is usually referred to as the Battle of Anzio.

Had an Uncle who was wounded in Italy. Taking out a pillbox he was hit several times. He was the equivalent of an E-7. He received a Silver Star (the first I had ever seen.) Along with Purple Hearts. I never got to meet him, he died before me and several of my cousin's where born. Including his second daughter.
