Italy - Polish War
Cemetery - Monte Cassino - 1 |
|
 |
|
The Polish War Cemetery at Monte Cassino is located on
the road leading up to the
Monastery at Monte Cassino - very close to the monastery. After the Allied landing in southern Italy in 1943
- during World War II - the allied advances was stop at Monte Cassino. The
high ground near the monastery turned
out to be an almost impossible stronghold to conquer, so the "Battle
of Monte Cassino" took a lot of Allied lives - among these a large
number of Polish volunteers that had jointed the British forces.
