NOTE: Closed Caption Available at CC on bottom of video toolbar for those who need it. Part I above Part II below

The Sicily Campaign was the first extended battle for the Canadian Army in Europe during the Second World War. Coming ashore with an Allied invasion force on July 10, 1943, the Canadians would see heavy action on this hot Mediterranean island and played a key role in defeating the strong German forces that were holding it. The “Heroes Remember Presents… the Italian Campaign” mini-documentary offers viewers a chance to hear what fighting there was like from those who know best – our Veterans.
