The Sangro War Cemetery is a solemn place created in memory of all the British, Australian, New Zealand and Indian soldiers who fell in the battle against the German Nazis between October and December 1943 along the Sangro river, asserted along the infamous Gustav defensive line built by Adolf Hitler himself and for whom he had put Feld Marshal Kesselring, who had his headquarters in the Cimarosa villa in Avezzano, in the Concentration district in the north of the city, in command for the defense of the same.
More than 2000 soldiers rest in this war cemetery, some of them unknown, a place that I visited together with my parents on September 1, 2013, also putting our signature in the visitor register, to never forget all these dead boys even just 18 years old, young people who have even come from 20,000 km who have given their lives for us, to defend our freedom.
