Monte Cassino
As can be seen in these pictures, the tour was a great success.
It began in mid-September with a study day, that saw the usual PPP hands on history approach for all those taking part.
In addition to the above tour Parsons Period Presentations have been involved in reviewing and marketing the following books:
This is the personal account of Sam Knowles, a tank crewman of the 16th/5th Lancers during the Italian Campaign of World War Two. This is a particularly useful primary resource account, from a Soldier’s perspective of the Battles around Monte Cassino.
Secondly “Her Heart of Survival and Hope”
The author of this work is a young lady who served with me on Operations ten years ago. It tells the story of a young veteran of conflict that suffers domestic abuse.
