Purpose
My main use of Wikipedia products at this time is conducting research about the Italian Campaign of WWII.

This is needed to help with a book I'm writing called Winter Line Stories

As I conduct research about the Italian Campaign, I also contribute to existing content on Wikipedia.



Winter Line Summary
Winter Line Stories is based on stories written by my grandfather, a Liaison Officer for the Public Affairs Department based in Italy from January 1943 to January 1945.

My Grandfather was a Major in the U.S. Army during WWII. He was stationed with the 5th Army in Northern Africa and Italy from Jan 1943 to Jan 1945. One of his main roles was to write stories about what was going on; a war correspondent. He left these stories, typed on the original tissue paper thin pages. All told there are about twelve stories that have never been published – at least not that I could find.
