The Italian Campaign WWII - Hasty Ps

 

In the first major campaign for the Canadian Army in the Second World War, the 1st Canadian Division landed at the south end of Sicily on the 10th of July 1943 and would see continual combat until early 1945 in the south of Europe. It fought at such disparate places as Pachino, Salerno and Ortona. Though the end of the war was some 2 years away for these soldiers of the D-Day Dodgers or Monty’s Mountain Goats, this division of Red Patch Devils would prove to be one of the finest divisions in the Italian campaign. Over 6,000 Canadians ended up being killed in action in Italy, most of them from the 1st Canadian Division.

    The watercolour print can be an exact copy of the license plate ordered or an alternate selection can be made. Please specify which image you would prefer for the watercolour print.

     

    FRAMING:

    As the license plate may be exposed to the elements, the plastic shield (which is included in the set), should be used for extra protection.

    If using a license plate frame for the watercolour print: mark the 4 holes and use a hole puncher to make the holes for the screws.

    When assembling to hang the license plate on a wall, make sure the side that is marked “BACK” (on the black backer support) faces out. This offers support for hanging onto a screw or nail on a wall.
