Four members of the Shropshire Yeomanry, a voluntary regiment of the British Army, visited Monte Cassino to mark the milestone anniversary of the taking of the land during the Second World War.
Jack Watson, 96, who served during the campaign, was accompanied by Councillor Mark Whittle, Steve Owens and Mark Edwards who have all served in the Yeomanry.
The men laid wreathes and 11 crosses to mark the graves of lost comrades, and were then joined by other foreign units paying their own respects.
Mr Watson was accompanied by his family as he continued his weekend, also meeting Prince Harry as a representative of the British government.
