..e un passo interessante dal Diario di Guerra del 21 Bat. of New Zealand Army..... (ho solo corretto in tutte maiuscolo BULGARNO')
( http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/te...018183-mention )
The battalion was organised as a battle group and took under command A Squadron 19 Armoured Regiment, 5 Platoon 104 Canadian Anti-Tank Battery, E Troop 32 NZ Anti-Tank Battery, 3 Platoon 1 Machine Gun Company, and 2 Platoon 7 Field Company.
The battalion plan was for B Company on the right and C Company on the left to lead the advance. Each would be accompanied by a Honey tank for inter-communication. D Company, with two sections of carriers, was to be ready to move out and protect the right flank. A Company was to be in reserve. The Canadian anti-tank battery would work with the tanks, the battalion mortars would work independently, and the machine-gunners would move up for consolidation on the final objective. The Maoris were to go into reserve, and 22 Battalion would supply right-flank protection.
The bridge over the canal was ready by 2 p.m. and the battalion took up its dispositions along the Via Staggi, on the right of 23 Battalion in the Gambettola area. The battalion was arranged with No. 1 Section of the carriers supporting B Company and No. 2 Section supporting C Company; behind and to a flank were two anti-tank guns for each section of carriers; and still further support was afforded by five mortars in rear of the anti-tank guns. The left flank was in touch with 23 Battalion and the open right flank was the responsibility of D Company. A Company remained in reserve in Gatteo.
The supporting tanks of A Squadron were up by 4.30 p.m. and the advance began. The first battalion objective was from BULGARNO' to a crossroads a mile and a half east of the village and about a mile forward of the start line. The troops made good progress for half the distance, when they were fired on from houses along a road parallel to the axis of advance and leading to BULGARNO'. By the time the companies had worked as far forward as possible without engaging in a fire fight, it was nearly dark and Thodey decided to stand for the night. The position then was that B Company had edged around the opposition and was close to the road, but C Company had not been able to move more than a few hundred yards. So far there were no casualties. The 23rd Battalion, under instruction not to persist if the going was tough, was also not in full page 389 possession of the first bound. Further to the left the Canadians had made better progress and were within a mile of the Pisciatello; on the extreme right there was no change.

.. grazie ragazzi..... e come un altra storia altrettanto drammatica che si incocia con quella del nostro nostro panzer grenadier della 26 Pz.Div.... la parte davanti del monumento ai caduti di Bulgarnò:i caduti della prima, i militari della seconda e appunto questa sui civili, caduti quelli del 1944 più o meno gli stessi giorni di Philipp mentre i due del 1945 sono quasi sicuramente di mine seminate quei giorni.... ho fatto una veloce statistica con un paio di proporzioni (42 milioni di italiani nel 1940 quindi Bulgarnò circa 200).: media italiana della seconda guerra circa 1 morto militare o civile ogni cento abitanti... qui solo sulla parte davanti dei civili siamo a 11 caduti quindi circa 5 su cento...
