I had a request from a relative in Canada, to try and find the place where her uncle was killed in Sicily. She had a hand-written map drawn by a veteran who was also taking part in the battle. His signals truck had a direct hit and he died instantly.
I also sent a picture of his headstone in the Agira Canadian Military Cemetery.
1. The headstone of Norman Walker.
2. The hill town of Valguarnera.
3. The track (now tarmacked).
4. General view of the battle area.
