"ITALY ROSE 2008" - FRIENDS
ANNUAL BATTLEFIELD TOUR
The 1944 attempt to outflank the
determined and effective German defence of Italy at Anzio
was a bold stroke which turned to near disaster. The
tour will examine the role of 1st Loyals, for whom Anzio was a
major battle honour , and also visit the nearby battlefield of
Cassino
where the Lancashire Fusiliers won their only VC of WWII.
The tour will also enjoy the
glories of Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Vesuvius and perhaps
Capri. |
