Yes Marion the 'small wars' never get the recognition they deserve, but service personnel were killed and wounded just as in the major conflicts. It is because I was involved in Oman, that Operation Husky is so important to me. The 38 day Sicily campaign gets little notice in the history of WWII and it is as if the North African campaign led directly to the invasion of mainland Italy!
I know you have a reason to feel as I do and I will never stop remembering the British and Commonwealth 8th Army, United States 7th Army and the Canadian 1st Div who fought in what was called 'The return to Europe' in July/August 1943.
