J with american forces in Sicily in less than one week of fighting the americans Cut a wide path through the most intricate italian defences in terrain which made i i 609 look like a pinpoint. While there was never fierce determined resistance by the enemy there was always at least Token resistance. And a Token Bullet of course is just As real As Hie real Mccoy. Even so. The now american held Countryside showed Little sign of Battle. On either Side of the Road there remained innocent looking haystacks and Stone cottages and Small insignificant buildings which can Best be described As outhouses one wonders Why the sicilians have so Many of them and Why the haystacks Are so stiff and erect and Why the farmhouses Are always surrounded by barbed wire and then one does not wonder for he sees slits and he knows that they Are Pic i boxes every Vantage Point every bit of dominating ground had Bren armed and manned by the italian .

Doing a much better lob than they another newness about Sicily for North african veterans is the density of the population. The Island seems to be teeming with people especially in the pied i Pei towns that Nestle under the crags and Chino the Lei laced mountainsides. I personally Haven to seen so Many kids running around since i left Northern Ireland. Tor the first time too there Are plenty of men of fighting age on the streets.
