Re: Hurricane z4507
Thanks, that is a good beginning.
It was not around for long, was it? Goodman was found by an Italian unit who buried him beside the aircraft. His body was not recovered until the allies retook the area. Does anyone have any idea which units (Italian and British) were involved? |
