During the Italian Campaign the 2nd Bn King's (Liverpool) Rgt fought a
brief but savage engagement at a small hill-top village called San Leolino
which is situated around 25 Km west of Arezzo, south-east of Florence. 
They were pitched against the Herman Goering Panzer-Parachute Regiment
notorious for its brutality.   During the past weeks they had terrorised
the local inhabitants and killed between 250 and 300 innocent men, women
and children.   They were planning on destroying the village itself to
block the Allied advance when the Liverpool Rgt attacked them.
