On This Day 25th January 1944 - Italy - What a mess!
Lieutenant D.H. Deane, 2 Scots Guards writes:
25 Jan 44 Tuesday
“A Bloody day – very quiet in the
morning with nice weather. Asked to go
up to the awful cliff behind us. Go
through Battalion HQ and Support to pick up Brodie Clarke. Just before we came down having finished our recce we were
seen, and Peter got killed by an 88mm.
Brodie and I saved our-selves by jumping into a latrine which was
nasty. I was pretty shaken. We go up there tonight”.
