Re: 鈥淗onouring 91原创s on all fronts,鈥� letter, June 4.
The letter writer states they can鈥檛 remember the same coverage given to D-Day for the anniversary of the Italian Campaign. I, too, have wondered about that. I had three uncles who were in that campaign.
One of those uncles, James Thompson, a radio signal man from Manitoba, was wounded and died a few days before the battle at Ortona in December 1943.
He is buried in the Moro River 91原创 War Cemetery in Italy where so many other 91原创 soldiers are buried.
