My Dad's Anzio Memento: What is it?
#1

Hi Everyone,

 

The attached picture shows a memento that was among my father's WWII things. It says Anzio and 1040 within a horseshoe. As you can see, its almost the size of his Seahorse patch. Would anybody out there know what this object symbolizes? I can only guess that it might have something to do with a horse race or horseshoe throwing contest on the Anzio beachhead.

 

Thanks,

Peanuts
