Crossing the Moro River

Story by Sharon Adams

In the winter of 1943, the Allies in Italy had pushed the Germans north to a defensive line stretching from Naples to Ortona, from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Adriatic.

The Germans were dug in along the Moro River south of Ortona. On Dec. 4, 1943, the Allies—the Canadian 2nd Infantry Brigade, British, Indian and New Zealand troops—attacked. It would take two days of the bloody and exhausting 10-day battle just to cross the river.
