Description	The area in and around the village of Cassino was totally devastated by the moving battles of the Italian Campaign. Destroyed beyond recognition, the area was the site of many battles that must be described as 'ego' fights on the part of various commanders, who wished to pit their troops agains the enemy in a show of bravado. Thousands of soldiers - American, Australian, Polish and African, as well as German - lost ther lives here for a battle that never needed to be fought. In the valley is the remains of the village of Cassino.
