Ex FIL was a FJ at Cassino. Had a number of stories...
One of the under appreciated battles in WW2 history - overshadowed what happned in Normandy less than month after Operation Diadem. <Salute>
From a purely wargamers perspective, fascinating mix of units on both sides.

Those guys had it very tough - fighting uphill against a well drilled enemy who could easily pick them off, not much cover as the Germans had cut down every tree in sight......it's a bloody miracle that any survived.
