On This Day 1 February 1944 - Italy - the Wandering Donkey!
2 Scots
Guards War Diary
1 Feb 44
The enemy shelled the Tremensuoli village a certain amount,
but the Company areas were not paid much attention. The main square opens up to the West so that
anyone foolish enough to walk about there is very apt to provoke hostile
action; most people realise this but there is one rather lonely donkey, which
sometimes wanders there and was several times the cause of shell fire. It has learnt to run to the houses for
shelter when it hears shells coming, but not to avoid the square altogether.
