Default The Italian Campaign

Tony,
My dad fought in these battles you mention.He mentioned the Auzzies to me.One time in Italy he traded Canadian beer for Auzzie mutton.I guess for a change of taste.They also shared something else.They were both proud to wear the Eigth Army patch.Also in common,you had Gallipoli,we had Dieppe!!
