From Norway to Burma by
Roger Holgate
22 Jan 44
Between 18 and 22 Jan 44 X
Corps had lost almost 1,500 men.
13 Brigade was in the area
between Tufo and Minturno, when the counter attack began on 20 Jan 44 and 15
Brigade was moving forward to take the ridge behind Tremensuoli. For two days 1 KOYLI, with 1 Green Howards
and 1 York & Lancs., stood firm against Kesselring’s counter attack, which
surged along the boundary of the bridgehead, and on towards Mount Damiano,
Mount Castiello and theSujo valley.
The front line on the right of the attack moved back and forth, as the
Germans fought to throw it back to the river.
As the casualties began to mount, the entire front started to stabilise
into na position that was roughly the same as had existed when the German
counter attack had been launched.
