North Cassino again

I got quite a few matches today in the northern outskirts of Cassino. The Yanks had got in a small way here, and we took over from them. Our main attack came through here also. The Yanks had lost several tanks here and also had some captured. The captured ones may well have been used in the counter-attack against the Maori in the Railway Station. A few remain elusive, particularly ones of US mortar positions. Roads and driveways look very similar in this part of town and I am hesitant about trespassing. I was contacted by Kay Scott who is to set up a meeting with Roberto Molle of the History Association. The next two days are a religious holiday though, so not much will be happening. Did I mention it was hot, hot, hot?
