In the absence of documentation it is not certain Ronald was in North Africa (Enfidaville-Tunisia) with his battalion. They were in the invasion at Salerno and then landed at Anzio where they relieved the Foresters on the 16th. CWGC have 28 killed on 16th and another 22 on the 17th. After Ronald's death they then attacked on the 20th in an attempt to breakout and were virtually wiped out, only 80 men left out of 800 after about five days of bitter fighting . |
