Pachino Photo

I came across this photo of the Canadian beach head at Pachino Sicily on the DND web site.

Re: Pachino

Great picture John, 60 years ago last Thursday (10 July 1943) - the D-Day Dodgers of 1st Div started their days in 'Sunny Italy' - 11 months before the 3rd Div landed in Normandy.....

Whats that 3 tonner towing?

Does anybody see a Bofors on a trailer being left behind as they tow the LAAT up the hill, or am I seeing things?

15cwt Truck

The truck appears to be a light AA tractor but has a "5" bridge class like a 15cwt truck. Any explanation for this? Yes it dose look like a 40mm Bofors AA gun behind the truck.

D4 Dozer

I have(perhaps) the younger brother(by 1 yr) of the D4 that is doing the towing.
Cheers, Bill
