These cunning Germans are pulling out all the stops. Having captured Troina the US II Corps are continuing down Hy 120 towards Randazzo (and ultimately Messina) but now they are facing some innovative delaying tactics 😉😎 #OpHusky

Back again at #Assoro. I still consider this to be the finest single bn action of #WW2. Ld Tweedsmuir gets the credit for leading this action but it was Bruce Sutcliffe’s (CO Hasty Ps) imaginative plan and Howard Graham (Comd 1st Inf Bde) who had the balls to support it! #OpHusky

Every time I come here I think we ought to crowdfund to raise money to repair this inscription. Who else is going to look after it? 51st Div Memorial near Sferro, Sicily. #OpHusky

As Clive visits a 51Div memorial in France, another of our tours is in Sicily also at a 51st HD memorial! This one was guarded by a proper snake! Brigadier (Retd) Jim Tanner and team still got to the objective. #Sicily #OpHusky #WW2

Yesterday, I rose in the Senate to honour our fallen heroes who fought in Operation Husky during the Second World War and shared my experience of walking through towns and villages in Sicily earlier this summer as part of The Walk for Remembrance and Peace, in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allied landing in Sicily. ******** Hier, j'ai pris la parole au Sénat pour rendre hommage à nos héros tombés au combat lors de l'opération Husky pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et j'ai partagé mon expérience de cet été d’avoir marché à travers les villes et les villages de Sicile, dans le cadre de la Marche pour le souvenir et la paix, pour célébrer le 80e anniversaire du débarquement des Alliés en Sicile.
