Got a campaign book published by Osprey. Any of you who are familiar with military history will be familiar with the format. Small glossy book with maps, lots of photos.
Anzio 1944 - The beleagured beachhead
The book mentions the 36th and 48th Engineers. No mention of the 540th! Man that ticks me off. The 540th were integral to Anzio at the beachhead and throughout the entire campaign. But as anyone on this site knows, the role of the engineers was and is sorely neglected in the history books. I will try to rectify this so future readers and historians will know how important these men were to the war effort.
I am pleased that the 36th and 48th were brought into focus. There are a few good maps that show the position of the 36th Engineers and will share those with you later in the week if all goes well. Am in the middle of so many remodeling projects with the house, but I digress...
