On This Day 28 January 1944 - Italy - The Guards apologise!
1 York & Lancs. Ernest
Shaw:
“We had three Companies, then for a while, then
after we got back to normal with these reinforcements, we went back to relieve
the Guards on Point 156, Monte Natale, the Guards who had replaced us. The Major talked to us before we went
because he had been sworn at in the same manner. He was in the line with us when we were
coming out. He had an apology from the Colonel
of the Guards Regiment over this episode.
We got back to relieve them on Point 156, and they were quite apologetic
to us individually. Men came to us and
said how sorry they were, but at the time I could have belted some of them when
we were walking out”.
