I AM currently researching a book on the Monte Cassino battles of January to May, 1944.

I am keen to contact and interview veterans in Worcestershire and Herefordshire who took part in the battles or anyone who has diaries, letters or photographs from that time.

I am keen to speak to as many people who were there as I can.
