"THEY brought them out one by one under the warm Italian sun, sedately, with dignity, in the shadow of the very hills where these brave young men died 73 years ago. Teams of Coldstream Guardsmen carried the flag-shrouded coffins of three of their heroic Second World War predecessors who made the supreme sacrifice near the summit of one of the most bitterly contested hills of the battle of Salerno. The re-internments were watched by Alma Williams, 80, the younger sister of Lance Corporal Ronald Blackham, who was just 22 when he was killed storming Hill 270 on September 25 1943. He is the only one of the three who has been identified so far. His remains were found alongside another soldier three years ago by Italian historians sweeping the area with metal detectors. A year later another was found just 30 yards away in front of the trenches where the battle-hardened Germans of the Panzer Grenadier Regiment were finally driven off the hill top." http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/780074/British-soldier-killed-southern-Italy-WWII-laid-rest-Salerno
