Help in contacting Monte Cassino Vets

Hi,

I am looking for some information on how I could go about contacting World War Two veterans who served at Monte Cassino, as I am planning of doing my dissertation on it at University. I am especially looking for info on the Stockport Italy Star Association. I saw them in spoons once, but was to shy to say anything to them, as they took the piss out my Italia shirt. I have already got one vet lined up to interview, although he is a German paratrooper, and I would like to find some British Vets.

Any Help would be great.

Best Regards
Phil

Saying 'Cassino', makes it a very wide subject to cover unless you mean those who fought specifically on it or in the immediate area?

Members of the Italy Star Association should be a good general source. Suggest you contact the Secretary at italy.star.assn-east.hants@ntlworld.com

No.9

 

Phil--sent you a PM with 1 Grossdeutschland and 2 Gebirgejager RKT addresses. I think that that is all that is left. Will have to find out from Paul when possible--to make sure.

 

Thanks for the email address No.9,

I'll see what happens, I am looking for those troops who saw service in the battle for cassino and the surrounding area.

Carl, thanks for the addresses, I have sent a PM your way

Cheers
Phil

 

Got it my friend

 

Hi Phil - I am just in the process of starting an oral history project with British/Commonwealth veterans of the Italian campaign; perhaps we can share some contacts?

You can drop me an email via my website below; there are some articles on Cassino on there, following my visit there with a vet in May this year.

 

Hi Paul,

I have tried to email youi a few times, but my emails keep getting returned to me, so I have sent you a PM!

Cheers
Phil
