I’ve just been writing a piece about a new book by Stewart Mitchell on the Battle of Anzio in 1944. Plenty of north-east Gordon Highlanders died in the protracted hostilities, including 19-year-old twins and a 16-year-old stretcher bearer from Aberdeen. We just don’t learn from history, do we?! #GordonHighlandersMuseum #Aberdeen #BattleofAnzio #StewartMitchell
