Sicily - Walt's Daughter - 11-19-2004


My new friend Colin (you may have seen his posts here on the site this week) is doing research on the Sicilian campaign and is planning another trip this spring.

 

We were discussing the 540th Combat Engineers and the role they played in this campaign. I also told him that my mom's parents were from Sicily and he wanted me to let him know where they were from. So here's a little info for all:

 

The 540th Combat Engineers landed at Licata and Gela. They proceeded north and went all the way up to Palermo and Termini Imerese. Go Patton!!

 

Our family is from Marsala. There are also a lot of Pumas living in Trapani.
