100-year-old WW2 veteran pays moving tribute to fallen friends on return to Monte Cassino
A 100-year-old Second World War veteran has remembered the Battle of Monte Cassino and those who died there at the 80th anniversary commemorations in the Italian town.
"We were fighting with catapults, they were fighting with modern weapons," Jack Hearn told Forces News.
The veteran was "very proud" and "keen" to return to the town and pay homage but played down his role as "just one of the people that was here".
