On This Day 4 February 1944 - Italy - The Last Journey!

 

Feb 44 was the day Ernest Strafford’s “Body recovered, identified and buried by British Troops”.   We now know that the only British soldiers in the vicinity of the grave were soldiers from his own Regiment, “B” Company, 1 York & Lancs.   It is fitting that they buried him.
