Got the 1hr train from Rome termini station to Anzio to see my grandads final resting place. The Anzio War Cemetery is 15mins walk from Anzio rail station.If you want the Beachead Cemetary,you need to get off at Villa Claudia rail station. You cannot really walk from the beachead cemetery to the Anzio cemetery as the pathway runs out and it's a busy road to walk 2km on. The Anzio war cemetery is mainly British and commonwealth soldiers killed at the early stages of the conflict.I believe it was planned before the battle as one of the first cemeteries. If you are looking for relatives, you firstly need to go to the small structure at the front of the cemetery that looks like a guard box.In here you will find a book with the names listed and most importantly where they are located within the cemetery. It's an emotional place to visit.Beautifully kept.Many thanks to the CWGC and locals who maintain it. In here you can ponder painfully on the young ages of these brave men.Also,so many graves have the same date of death.This gives you a hint to the ferocity of the battles. My grandad was killed early in the Anzio conflict. January 44. He was from Lincolnshire and joined the Sherwood foresters(2nd battalion). During the fight for Campoleone and "The Factory", the 2nd battalion(roughly 700 men) were decimated by German forces on the attack during 29th -31st January 1944. All the officers were killed and only 150 men survived. Peaceful,Poignant, painful,but go Remember them.
