When visiting Adolph's home town of Cassino in 1991, we had the opportunity to visit the British Commonwealth Cemetery.
They call it the "English" cemetery as there are other cemeteries in the area.
It was a very emotional visit. As the fact that all these young men died and are buried there, never to have a life or return to Canada.
About 40% of the Cemetery have Canadians.
War cemeteries can now be found online.
This is such a poignant picture. Monte Cassino on the mountain is visible from the war cemetery.
Significant battles were fought in this area during World War Two.
