Italian House CP Amid Rapido Front Fires and Laughs

Sgt. Newton H Fulbright recalls a stone house on the Rapido River used as a company CP during the Cassino fighting. Soldiers drank wine, cooked, and slept as shells and bomb blasts pierced the yard. A straw stack fire and a massive explosion blew 400 rounds of HE, wounding a comrade. More civilians arrived later seeking water from vine barrels.

The Mount Cairo House Amid War’s Close Struggle

A vivid wartime memoir captures a British American assault on Cairo Italy, detailing a stone house perched above a canyon, a wounded Italian survivor, and a tense night as German shelling forces a perilous withdrawal. The account centers on the Dutchman and a Texan comrade guiding a forward command post through peril, fuelled by a boiling fire and improvised shelter.
