    Hello:

    I'am trying to locate any information on Operation Husky - when troops landed in "Augusta" Italy - July 13,1943.

    The family i'am researching was from Augusta & still had family there at that time.

    Any info & direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks to all.:p

    Welcome to the forum, sugarbug. I hope you will stop by the new members area and make a more formal intro.

    As for info on anything WW2, one cannot go wrong by checking out Hyperwar. For your particular query, you may want to peruse:

    HyperWar: US Army in WWII: Sicily and the Surrender of Italy

    There's a link to the index in between the Appendix and the Maps sections, if you're impatient like me. :D

    Most of what I have found just states that Augusta was taken on 13 July by troops of the British 8th Army. Do a Google search for Operation Husky 1943 Augusta. I have not come across specific names.

    Was 'Operation: Husky' referring to the invasion of Italy proper or just Sciliy itself?
