I would imagine there will something going on in Ortona around the latter part of December, since that's where and when the Canadians were fighting there.

Oh I just found out that they don't sell these things in Italy,
things here are a little backward.

So how you wrap one up for me and just pop on down the post,
there's a good chap and Happy Christmas !

Love to mate but on camera gear, I'm REALLY selfish!

This is a rather long video clip, but a great story. Canadian and German veterans of Ortona met for the 55th anniversary.
