波蘭將士墳
starting on 17 january 1943, american and british troops tried to break through the german gustav line in italy by taking monte cassino. three times they were hurled back.
then the polish 2nd corps* took their place. after three days of fierce fighting, on 18 may, the poles raised the polish flag on the top of the ruins of the benedictine monastery that crowned monte cassino. it was a costly victory: 1000 polish soldiers were killed and 3000 were wounded. a polish cemetery was erected. the dedication
says,"you, stranger passing by, tell poland that, for our freedom and yours, we have given our souls to god, our bodies to the soil of italy, and our hearts to poland."
