On This
Day: Christmas 1943 - Italy
Private Roy Hamilton 1 Green Howards Regiment recorded in his
diary:
Christmas Day 1943
Christmas Day 1943 was just
another very cold, very wet, very grim day here. For dinner we had corned beef hash and the
inevitable, so-called rice pudding. As
it had been brought forward in containers to us, it was barely warm. Still, we did manage to say: “Happy
Christmas” to each other.”
