Escaped prisoners in Italy 1944 - seated on the left is Lt Col Lee the CO of the Royal Hampshire Regiment, captured at Tebourba, Tunisia in 1942. He went on in his career to become the CO of 22 SAS. #Tunisia81

Quite a tough talk tonight on WW2TV Paul Woodadge about civilians in Italy in 1944. Grim. But, by way of an antidote, here's a lovely pic from 1945, taken in Italy by my friend's late grandfather who served as an army driver.
A 1943 sketch of an Allied infantry platoon attack, on 'Carrier Farm' Tunisia. The military 'fundamentals' have not changed in the military method from 1943 even if military technology has. #Tunisia81
Here's the workshop at Montarnaud farm used by the TIGER 131 unit in 1943 (pic taken 2 weeks ago). It's just behind and below Point 174 where the The Tank Museum Tiger was captured. Question: does it look big enough to house a Tiger? I should have taken a measuring tape! #Tunisia81
Looking forward to tomorrow's talk from The Gurkha Museum with 'Gurkhas in WW2', on the one and only WW2TV Paul Woodadge - lots of Gurkha action in Tunisia 1943, hope to hear about it. Here's their original memorial in Tunis with the new one on the rear wall. #Tunisia81
