The Frontline Walk 2026: Italy 16-20 September

Donate to Ian and help them hit their goal of £4000!

I'm taking part in the Frontline Walk: Italy. I'll be trekking though Italy to visit Monte Cassino and retrace soldier's footsteps in the historic battleground.

I'll be doing this to commemorate the sacrifices and bravery these individuals made during the Battle of Monte Cassino, whilst helping to support the soldiers and veterans of today.

It will be a physically and emotionally tough challenge, but I'm doing it all for a great cause: The Army Benevolent Fund, the National Charity of the British Army. They support soldiers, veterans and their families when they need it most.

Please cheer me on by making a donation towards my target.

I did it!

So in 30° heat I conquered 3 Italian mountains, walking on rock strewn paths that were barely visible at times. 
It made me think about the British and Commonwealth troops in 1943/44 carrying up to 120lbs of kit, unable to dig in due to the rock, in pouring rain and under intense enemy fire. The poor sods!

Good Luck Ian. I was at HGS from 1965-1970. My father fought and was wounded at Monte Cassino. He survived but lost many comrades. He struggled to deal with this for the rest of his life.
