Funeral Service at Lamone Cemetery, Italy, 15 Feb 1945.

The 48th Highlanders had successfully crossed the Lamone River on 10 December 1944 after battalions from two brigades had been repulsed along the river. The 48th crossing, defeating counterattacking German troops, created a well defended and large bridgehead enabling other battalions to follow. The battalion remained in the Lamone and Senio River area until mid-February when they were redeployed to the Ravenna marshes area.
