Moro River Canadian War Cemetery
In Italy near Ortona. From WWII. A moving site and found the making and watching of the movie also quite moving.
You may wish to follow this up by looking up the Canadian WWII campaign in Italy with taking of Ortona during Christmas 1943.
We hope you will find it worthwhile.

Ortona - 20 - 28 december 1943
(Scroll down for English) Een episode van de campagne in Italië was de Slag bij Ortona, een strijd die de geschiedenisboeken inging als ‘Bloody December’ en ‘Italian Stalingrad’. De Canadese 1st Infanterie Divisie vocht van 20 tot 28 december 1943 tegen waarschijnlijk de beste troepen die het Duitse leger bezat, de Fallschirmjäger van de 1st parachute divisie. Het oprukkende Geallieerde leger had het hele najaar moeite met de geharde Duitse strijders die jaren aan ervaring met zich meedroegen. De Canadezen moesten Ortona vanwege zijn strategische waarde veroveren. Na zes dagen strijd kregen de Canadezen infanterie en gepantserde versterkingen die uiteindelijk het machtsevenwicht doorbraken. De slag had een vernietigende uitwerking op de stad waar veel mensen hun huis waren verloren. Ook was het aantal slachtoffers enorm, waarbij de Canadezen de grootste verliezen hadden te betreuren. Kortom, dat deze slag wordt vergeleken met de slag om Stalingrad is volkomen terecht.
The Battle of Ortona (20–28 December 1943) was a battle fought between a battalion of German Fallschirmjäger (paratroops) from the German 1st Parachute Division under Generalleutnant Richard Heidrich, and assaulting Canadian troops from the Canadian 1st Infantry Division under Major General Chris Vokes. It was the culmination of the fighting on the Adriatic front in Italy during Bloody December. The battle, known to those who fought it as the Italian Stalingrad for the deadliness of its close-quarters combat. On 28 December, after eight days of fighting, the depleted German troops who lacked reinforcements finally withdrew from the town. The Canadians suffered 1,375 dead during the Moro River battles of which Ortona was a part. This represented almost a quarter of all Canadians killed during the entire Italian Campaign.
