Monte Cassino Cross

[policefirechief]

hi there

Just wondering if it is possible that a member may have details on a Monte Cassino Cross no 42432 I Have had this one for some time but have been unable to get any info as the Museum now does not release info as they used to.
I already have 3 in groupings but two came with orig docs 2 officer one was KIA and buried at Monte Cassino Polish Cemetery[incidently i was there a month ago and went to see his grave,rather touching , but good to pay respect to those who fought for our freedom].
The other one is to a nursing sister which was verified by the museum a few years ago.
I would be most grateful for any info on cross 42432 if possible.
thanks guys
