Some of you know that I was part of a group of graduate students selected to study the Italian Campaign from the ground - This photo is of our group on Pachino Beach, the Canadian landing beach in Sicily. It is always an honour to be selected for these tours and going to Europe is always a pleasure. This was especially meaningful given my recent work with Eric McGeer on a series of Italian Battlefield Guidebooks. We are currently focusing on Sicily and Southern Italy and that was the exact route we charted with the tour. The tour was led by Dr. Lee Windsor, Deputy Director of the Milton F. Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society at the University of New Brunswick. Lee is a friend and an superb leader, who brings more passion to what he does than just about anyone I know. The Italian Campaign was the focus of Lee's PhD dissertation and a book is in the works. I look forward to reading it.
