World War Two / Re: Location of PG70, Monturano

I am glad you found this of interest. As I said my Father never really talk about it and when I downloaded the citation a couple of years ago I was amazed what he had done. I think it is partly that he had a very bad accident in 1955 where he lost one leg, had plates in the other and had over 150 stitches in his body and was very lucky to survive. This must have changed him as that the medal citation does not fit in the man I remember. After he died my mother could not find the medal and we think he must have taken it to work to show someone and lost it.
I am framing the citation and hanging it with our family trees. Apart from that I think I leave it there as service records appear to be £30 and I not sure what else it will give me.

Hi
I have attached the citation for my Father's MM which refers to to Camp70 and then goes on to refer to his actions in Italy for which he was awarded the medal. There are a number of dates and other facts which you may find of interest.
Whilst he said he would take my mother to Italy they never went abroad before he died in 1969. He never really talked about his time in Italy more about selling lemonaide to other troops in Palestine before the war!!
I have thought about trying to find out more either here or in Italy but it a long time ago. However if anyone has any ideas I would be very gratefull
