N 1943 ALLIED FORCES LANDED ON THE ITALIAN PENINSULA AND BEGAN A STEADY ADVANCE NORTHWARDS TOWARDS CENTRAL EUROPE. THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH ISLES FOLLOWED THIS CAMPAIGN WITH KEEN INTEREST, RELISHING EVERY ACCOUNT OF ALLIED HEROISM THAT WAS REPORTED IN THE PAPERS AND NEWSREELS. ONE SUCH BRITON WAS JASON STRINGER, A SIMPLE COUNTRY BOY WHO LIVED WITH HIS FATHER IN THE SOUTHWEST OF ENGLAND. JASON WORKED HARD TO EARN HIS KEEP, NEVER DREAMING THAT HE HIMSELF WOULD ONE DAY PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE WAR AGAINST THE AXIS.
THOSE LUCKY LADS ARE OFF TO ITALY. WISH I WAS GOING WITH THEM.
