peter caddick—adams is an historian and author of monte cassino: ten armies in hell. i spoke with him earlier and started by asking him about the significance of the coalition that fought during those battles. yeah, the allied coalition was really run by the americans, the canadians, the british, the free french and the poles. but there were other nations who sent detachments as well. and in the end, field marshal alexander said that he reckoned he had 21 different coalition partners under his command for the italian theatre. and that has a very modern resonance, because those are the sort of numbers of coalition partners we've had in bosnia, or iraq, or afghanistan. and the learning of how to work together and cooperate was extremely important. and that was really the reason for allied success. at the end of the day. i don't know if you're aware of who will be attending this anniversary? i mean, it is hugely significant and important. particularly, it's probably going to be the last one for the remaining survivors of world war ii. yes. it's largely been lost, because
