    If anyone is interested, I will be running a battlefield study to Salerno on 8-11 Sep 17.

    The event will look in detail at the landings by X (BR) Corps, the Commando/Ranger Force and VI (US) Corps, the push inland towards the key locations of Battapaglia, Montecorvino, Eboli, La Molina Pass, San Severino Pass, Persano and Altavilla, the German counter attacks and the eventual Allied success.

    We will look at individual Bde landings in the British sector and the titanic struggle to close the yawning gap between X (BR) Corps and VI (US) Corps before the Germans exploited it. As you would expect from anything involving Mark W Clark and Bernard Montgomery, it is a highly controversial battle.

    More details are available at www.cassinobattlefields.co.uk.

    Regards
