Travel to Italy with veterans of the 49th Loyal Edmonton Regiment as they return to Ortona to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Battle of Ortona; a battle that
has since become known as the "Italian Stalingrad."

The trip includes a ceremony in the Moro River Cemetery honouring Canada's war dead and a tour of Monte Cassino, with stops in Venice, Voghera, and Rome.
