I suspect that he was badly injured whilst 2 Lancs Fus were in the line up on Snakeshead Ridge at Cassino in Apr 44, was evacuated through the medical system and died at a Gen Hospital in Bari.

Chaps, I've a funny feeling something could not be cricket here! I'm only going off the The History of the Lancashire Fusiliers 39-45 by
John Hallam. I've checked Chapter 9, pages 82 through till 93. Cassino and the Liri Valley ( The 2nd Battalion) & there is no mention of Major P.J. Mulqueen. I've even had a butchers at the Appendix & the Index pages but no joy..

Frank, I did clock a name.. Capt. F. Majdalany, 2 LF who was awarded the MC.. Would this be the same chap who wrote the book,
CASSINO PORTRAIT OF A BATTLE? He does mention that he fought in North Africa, Sicily and Italy in the rear sleeve of the book.
Another point, I'm finding it some what strange that a Major has not got a gong that they normally get ( & I'm not taking the rise out of Officers here). I'm thinking the diaries are required.. Just to add, the only other battalion was the 11 LF that fought in Italy.

Regards
Stu.

 

Thank you all very much
