Monte Cassino cross

[andrzejku98]

Hello Submariner,

Many thanks for your reply, I have information on those soldiers from the 2nd Corps Killed in Italy from 1943-1946, further information unfortunately is covered by the 75 year Military Disclosure Law of the UK. Which is up in 2020, but even then the government of the day could increase it to a 100 years if they so wish depending on the sensitivity of the information contained within.

Please let me know if I can help you further, in your search for the Birth Place of Recipients of the Monte Cassino Cross.

Best wishes

Andrzej
