This section of the website is dedicated to the telling of the stories of those who fought in the 1st Airborne Division's areas in Sicily. I would like to fill this section with as many stories as possible, first-hand accounts by the persons concerned are preferable, though second-hand accounts are welcome. Stories may concern men of the 1st Airborne Division, the Glider Pilot Regiment, 38 Wing of the RAF, the 51st Troop Carrier Wing USAAF, any other British or American units that came into contact with the airborne troops, as well as the German and Italian forces who opposed them, and the Sicilian civilians who lived in the surrounding area.
The stories may be of any length, anything from a description of a single incident to a full description of the three month campaign. Background details and photographs of the people concerned are also welcome. Also, if you know of any further details about a person mentioned here, or know any information to be incorrect, please write to me and let me know. pegasusarchive@googlemail.com
