A co-worker of mine at UPS is touring battlefield locations in Italy. He is a Corporal in the Canadian Army Reserve. His posts on Facebook showed Monte Cassino recently
Yesterday, he went to Ortona with a half-dozen of his Canadian battle buddies. This almost forgotten bloody battle is what Americans should read about.

Fascinating read. One that most Americans including me, know nothing about.

Thank you for the read. We don't give the British and Canadians the requisite recognition. Case in point. The combined forces of the British and Canadians were greater than our troop numbers on D-Day.
