I've found just a couple so far, though there are lots of photos of their boys taking part in the invasion of Italy. Dan
PS. Thanks to Frederick for pointing out Brazil's participation. Other than producing rubber, I had no idea what else they contributed to the allied effort.

Like most nations outside the 'Big Three' they tend to get written out of English language histories or, if mentioned at all, get mixed into the background 'colour'. How many of us are aware of the Canadian and New Zealand forces which fought in the Pacific? |

Agreed, I did an extended article on the Brazilians in Italy (including the air squadron) for Miniature Wargames some yrs back (also appeared in the SOTCW magazine – The Journal). I included a couple of tabletop scenario outlines of actual historic engagements too. Back then (yrs before the Osprey), the research was quite a challenge :) |
