I AM writing to you in the hope that some of your readers may be able to help me.

I am writing a book, and making a small museum, about the allied campaign in eastern Sicily in 1943, with special emphasis on the Siracusa-Avola area.

I would like to prepare a series of exhibitions on the campaign. I would very much like to contact veterans (or the relatives), of this campaign, which sadly seems to have been forgotten.

Their recollection will be an invaluable contribution to this project. I would like to receive stories, photo, maps, badge, poems etc.
