SASKATOON – A group of university students are dedicating hundreds of hours of their time to put a significant piece of Second World War history into perspective.
Linaya Taylor is one of the students helping construct a miniature model of the Battle of Ortona inside the Saskatoon Museum of Military Artifacts.
“It is (a battle) that a lot of people do not actually know about, so that is why we are making a model,” she said.
The lesser-known Battle of Ortona was vicious. Canadians fought against Germans in hand-to-hand combat during Christmas 1943.
