my father was in the 8th army in Egypt and then he had to go to Italy and fight at Monte Casino he is now 88 and in all my years he has not talked about it once to me but he has started to talk to his grandson about it but its still a very sensative subject for him and even though my father dont allways see eye to eye on most things he knows i am very proud of him and what he done so i could have a life
my deepest respect to everyone who defended our country then and now

We're off on holiday to the Naples area next week, and I have to drive past Torre del Greco to get to our apartment.  I'll try to get some pictures of what it looks like today.  Doubt if I'll be able to manage the same point of view - he must have been on a boat.  Should be interesting, if I remember. :)  Not back until mid-August, though, so it may take some time to unearth this thread.

Pity I can't send a postcard...

Some pictures I scanned I don't suppose you will be as impressed as me but here it goes :y
























looking back on things like this makes you wonder what it was like, especially if a relative is invloved, i did notice there wasnt any speed cameras anywhere, can you imagine a tank trying to park anywhere, opens the hatch and theres a ticket on the front  ;D ;D ;D ;D

As VX Omegas are built in Germany, it's not wise to mention the war :(
