My uncle, Charles Miles Carroll, was killed in action on 6 April 1945 at Argenta Gap, the last push of the war which apparently helped obtained for the British their place of influence after the war. He was a commando in the Italian Campaign and served with the 10th Royal Berkshires, D Company. D Company were overrun at the bridgehead at Anzio, in February 1944, having fought very hard but my uncle was not among those killed, wounded or captured. I am wondering if he was serving as a commando at Monte Cassino at the same time, because he reported that he had been at Monte Cassino? After Anzio, he was transferred like the remnant of the 10th Berkshires (40-60 men only remained after Anzio) and he spent some time in Egypt. He joined, as many did, The London Irish Rifles, who had fought alonside the 10th Berkshires. Any memories or information at all would be most welcome.
