Mitch Cronin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's a place in Italy where 1375 Canadians died in a historic battle during WWII.... and today there are as many Canadian students from all over Canada, in Ortona commemorating the event... http://wwii.ca/page44.html edited to change the link...

Hadji Ramjet Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada celebrate the Ortona Christmas Dinner every year at the armoury on Burrard St in Vancouver. It's quite the event if you have the sort of connections that can get you an invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadji Ramjet Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Should've also mentioned: there's an old b&w clip that's shown a lot when things are associated with Canadians in WWII, shows four (I think) soldiers moving from far right to near left and getting stiched up by a machine gun. That was Ortona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
