    Great photos Capt Bill.
    I don't believe the sky was that colour , you must have 'photo-shoped' it. ;)
    Seems Italy has had quite a few WW2Talk members visiting this year.

    the one of Beachhead has been shopped due to dust etc on the sensor, but the photo of cassino is untouched. Honest Gov'.:huh:

    Hello there,

    I have been doing a little research on behalf of a work colleague regarding her great uncle who is buried in Naples War Cemetery, and I was wondering if anybody already had a photo of the headstone?

    His CWGC certificate records him as SGT Joseph GOODLAD, 2615305 3 Bn, Grenadier Guards, died 28 May 1944. Grave ref II.A.16

    Hope someone can help

    Peter
