Charles, served in the Italian campaign, landing in Sicily 1943, and working his way up through Italy, as far as we know. According to a letter home he ‘was near a place with the same name as our cockerel’.
The cockerel was named Leghorn, which is also a name for Livorno (between Rome and Pisa).
We have his personal records, but they don’t give any reference to where he was.
