Italian Memorials - Walt's Daughter - 07-10-2006

This is from Colin. I apologize for not uploading these sooner.

Marion,

After some consideration I have decide to send the photos to you to decide how you want to use them. You will see what each refers to as I have taken close-ups of the citations.

No1: The plinth memorial to the US Third Infantry is sited in a park in Licata.

No2. The pyramid is an Italian/US memorial sited near Castelluccio.

No3. The large wall plaque is at the site of the battle of Ponte Drillo (Drillo Bridge) near Gela.

No4. This is a memorial to the crew of a C47 that crashed at this site and raised by the owner of what is now a five star hotel. A part of the aircraft sit atop the memorial.

Colin.
