That's wierd... there shouldn't be more than one at a time. There were only a few hospital ships to go around.  |
Maybe taking home Brits & Americans wounded from Anzio? :hmm: |
Hmmm. :hmm:
My Grandfather on my mother's side fought all through North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and finally Southern France where he was sent home early due to serious injury by land mine.
He was at Kesserine pass when the Germans cleaned our clocks.
I'm lucky I got to know him.
There were certainly enough casualties to keep more than one hospital ship full. |
Man; now I've got "When the Tigers Broke Free" stuck in my head
I did some reading about N.Africa and Italy last summer - pretty grim, to say the least. At least most histories say that The Pass taught US infantry valuable lessons & saved lives later on.
