Going to Italy with the Army (WW2 Battlefield Study) | British Army

* NOTE - this video was filmed in early 2022. *
This is phase two of a battlefield study tour. Phase one was in the UK, looking at machinery and vehicles used during WW2. This phase is where we visited the battle sites and learned more about Cassino and Anzio during the Second World War. We had a really fun week exploring Italy so I hope you enjoy this video. See you in the next one…

    This series is excellent! I'm a retired US Army National Guard officer. I planned a battlefield study we call " staff ride", for the Revolutionary War battle at Charleston, SC in 1779. I was a 2nd Lieutenant, then.

    Great video, my uncle was wounded at Monte Casino he was with the Inniskilin Fusiliers, his wound was surprisingly dressed by a German soldier before he disappeared back to his own lines, 5 minutes later he was picked up by men from his regiment. He stayed in the army until 1954 and served in the Korean war.

    Hi there, he’d have known my Uncle, Harry Mann from Glengormley, Belfast. He was also in the Skins in North Africa and then at Monte Cassino, stayed in after the war and went to Korea too. I played the Last Post and Réveillé there too. We will remember them, Ian

    Thank you, Chelsie. Excellent video. Did you know that most of the Poles you commemorated had to undergo a tremendous odyssey before they reached Italy, where they fought so bravely? Many of them were captured by the Soviets in Poland early in WW2, were imprisoned in Sibera, but were released by the Sovs when Hitler invaded the USSR in June 1941 and Russia changed sides. Most were simply turned loose, without any aid or leadership. Then they had to make their way south, often on foot, all the way from Siberia to Persia (Iran). There they formed the Free Polish army under General Anders and trained in the deserts of Iran and Iraq for deployment in 1944 to the Mediterranean theatre. So sorry for the lecture, but I'm an intelligence historian, so that's what you get! Good luck with your Sandhurst plans. 👍👍
