Hi Carmen
My Father took part in the North African Campaign, did a beach landing in Scilly and another one into main land Italy, and he spent 2.5 years of his seven years service in Italy ending up on VE night in Yugoslavia with the partisans.
He too felt very much like the forgotten side show, he also didn't have a lot of time for Mark Clark.
I must say that in this country it is the Burma men who are truly not recognised either by deed or in print.
Pete
