    My lad’s just got back from a fortnight in Sorrento. Major Freddie Gough MC, CO of 1st A/B Div’s Recce Sqdn. is buried there. So I sent him on a mission!

    During my vacation on July 22 I tried to find te grave of Charles Frederick Howard Gough (16th sept 1901-19th sept 1977) who served in Arnhem.There are several cemeteries in Sorrento. Inquiries at the town hall showed me the way to Traversa S. Renato, 80067 Sorrento NA, Italy. https://goo.gl/maps/isX5fWCxFmawe47C7
    Opening hours are limited and change throughout the year.
    I went back once to be able to take the pictures because the cemetery was closed.

    At the cemetery there was no one to give information. The gardener indicated that the grave should be near the entrance.
    The coördinate of the grave is 40.624126 14.384936.
