Pizzano's Hill (Italy)
#3

When I saw those written for the first time, my heart jumped!

The history of WWII may seem so distant and almost surreal when read only in books. Are places like this hill make it all real! The signs of the passage do not stop at this wall, on top of the hill there are still a lot of fox holes and MG emplacements, and the metal detector goes crazy because of the hundreds of cans and abandoned objects. We've found a lot of tins of Nescafe and K ratrions, a pair of toothbrushes, a box full of buttons of all nationalities (including French) and many cans cooker.

 

One day when I have time I add some pictures of the top of the hill!

 

I hope that we can find some relatives of Mr. Rhymer, I did some research and unfortunately it seems he died in 1981
