This Day in History - Italy March 12, 1944

Yup, the breakout was on May 25th, 1944. Take a look at this photo. It's from Al Kincer, of the 48th Combat Engineers. That's his jeep in the lower right hand corner, named Betty.

 

AL SAYS:

 

Here is picture of Co. B 48Engrs at Anzio link up. WE met at Borgo Grappa. Gen Clark shaking hands with Lt. Buckley. Pancho Savala with back to camera, Capt Sousa just pass Buckley with his Staff Sergeant. The Jeep in the picture is mine "Betty" by name.
