11th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers Italy 1944

[RodEast]

My father Jack Eastham served with the 11th Battalion both in Malta and Italy from 1941 to 1945.  I have a lot of information about Malta but little about their service in Italy.  My father was wounded in action in September 1944 and I am seeking any information about this action.  Any help very much appreciated.
