ANZIO=
LIKE SEVERN
VALLEY
What Broseley R.S.M. Told Correspondent
In the following article, specially written for “=
The
Shrewsbury Chronicle,” a correspondent describes his visit to the
K.S.L.I. in the Anzio
beachhead, and gives an account of his conversations with the officers and =
men
of the regiment.
Regimental - Sergeant – Major George Wilde, of a
K.S.L.I. unit, looked away into the woods thoughtfully and said, “ You
can tell them at home that this beach head scenery looks much like Shropshire landscape between
Coalport and Linley.” He added
reflectively, “Of course that's now in spring. When things dry up in hot weather it will look
different.” Wilde—an impressive figure who comes from Broseley,=
Shropshire, has been in the Army since 1918, and go=
t the
D.C.M. for gallantry in the beachhead—is right. Trees and scrub are
pleasantly green; mimosa and lilacs bloom profusely in neglected gardens,
nightingales sing their hearts out even in bushes in “No man's land,&=
#8221;
where rival patrols creep with bated breath trying not to make the slightest
sound. But none the less this has been and is a stern battlefield, and one =
at
which perhaps no British regiment played their part wills more decision and
courage and good teamwork than the K.S.L.I. It's been a strange war. Early =
on
people were convinced it would be won by men flying hundreds of miles an ho=
ur
in planes or by Wellston figures driving armoured juggernauts across
continents. The fluid battles of the Western
Desert and the mobi=
le nature
of the struggle swaying back and forth over hundreds of miles of Russian pl=
ains
added do this belief. Yet after four-and-a-half years of war we find the
Italian struggle brings back into the news again the names of county regime=
nts
which won so many laurels in other wars.
The infantryman is still decisive.

Wenlock's “ Salute “ Campaign
Borough's Target of £75,000
Wenlock's “Salute the Soldier” week had a
promising send-off on Saturday, when the official opening took place at Bro=
seley.
The proceedings opened with a parade in which the milit=
ary,
civil defence auxiliaries and other services took part. The march through t=
he
town was led by a R.A.O.C. band, and a halt was made at the Square, where a
large number of people had assembled. They were welcomed by the Mayor (Alde=
rman
C. R. H. Kane), who was supported by the Mayoress (Mrs. Kane), Lord and Lady
Forester, Brigadier C. E. De Woolf, Mr. A. Colegate, M.P., and Mrs. Colegat=

The Mayor said that this was their fourth War Savings
campaign, and on each occasion they had rallied to the cause. He hoped they
would do so again on this occasion, not only by reaching the target, but by
exceeding it. They already had promises amounting to £40,000 towards
their target of £75,000. He read telegrams received from Sir J. Ander=
son
(Chancellor of the Exchequer) and Sir J. Grigg (War Office) wishing success=
to
the campaign.
Capt. Legge-Bourke, who was at Dunkirk, and has since s=
een
service throughout North Africa with the Eighth Army, wished the effort, ev=
ery
success, and reminded everyone that it was not only the big contributions t=
hat
mattered, but also the small ones, and he urged the small saver to support =
the
appeal.
Mr. Colegate said that every penny saved not only assis=
ted
the Army in the field, but also served an equal purpose of providing work f=
or
the members of the Forces after the war.
Mr. Ivor Thomas appealed to wage-earners to put what su=
rplus
they had in the Post Office Savings Bank, as by doing so they would be
assisting the cause for which they were all fighting—freedom for the
victims of tyranny.

ster.
The salute was afterwards taken by Brigadier C. E. De W=
oolf,
and the day concluded in Broseley with a dance in aid of the appeal in the
