I received this today and forwarded it to Al Kincer of the 48th. I think we will be able to help someone have an extra special honeymoon in Italy.

I'm trying to find out information on the unit with which my Uncle Tony proudly served. I believe his unit may have been the 48th Combat Engineers. I know he served in Italy in 1943 and 1944. His unit was at Monte Cassino. His name is Staff Sergeant Antonio Rotondo and I know he was awarded the Bronze Star. He recently passed away. With regret I must say I never got the full details of his service. I am hoping you may have some information on where and what his unit may have done. I am going to Italy in June for my honeymoon and want to very badly retrace where he may have served. Any information you can provide me with will be greatly appreciated. I stumbled onto your website and found it to be very enlightening. Thank-you in advance for your time and help. My name is David Cercena, I'm a firefighter from Yonkers, New York...
