Salerno
Am off to Sorrento in July and hoping the good lady will show some forebearance and join me in a trip to Salerno.
Does anyone know if there are any places of interest to visit in that area which are related to RM Commando actions in WWII landings? Ray

41 RM Cdo, Salerno
In my view an appropriate start point would be the graves of 36 members of 40 and 41 RM Cdo in the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, Salerno.
