    I am organising a trip to Italy on 16-19 Feb 12 inclusive.

    The tour will follow the route and actions of 10 Inf Bde, 4 BR Inf Div but concentrate in particular on 1/6 East Surreys. The trip will look at 10 Inf Bde's actions at the Trasimene Line, the Arezzo Line, on the slog down the Arno to Florence and the attack on the Incontro Monastery. From there, we will cross to the Adriatic and look at the Bde's actions against the Gothic Line. The tour will finish on the south western end of San Fortunato Ridge looking at Maj Walter Brown's action that won him a Military Cross on 20 Sep 44.

    Anyone can join the tour as long as they self fund their flights to/from Italy, their accommodation and their food. A contribution to the cost of hiring a vehicle, fuel and tolls will be about £45.

    If anyone is interested, do get in touch by PM for the full itinerary.

    Regards
