A group of history buffs will head to Sicily later this month for a 320-kilometre trek in honour of the 562 Canadian troops who lost their lives in the sometimes overlooked Second World War invasion of Sicily.
Steve Gregory has organized the group of Canadians, Americans and Italians, who will trace the route that the Canadian soldiers took to liberate the island from Benito Mussolini’s fascists 75 years ago.
