18k | USS LST-383 unloading British troops at Salerno, September 1943. Note: The troops shown emerging from the bow ramp of LST-383 are British Eighth Army men from either the 50th (Tyne Tees) or 51st (Highland) Divisions. These exhausted and poorly equipped, troops were needlessly added to fresh American troops of the US Fifth Army in the assault on Salerno. But, after having been deceived about their destination and purpose, nearly 200 men refused to join the assault, and were arrested for disobeying orders. Within six weeks, after a trial for which their defense had no time to prepare evidence, all but one had been found guilty of mutiny, their sentences ranging from five years' penal servitude to death. Further information about the above incident can be found in "Mutiny at Salerno 1943: An injustice Exposed" by Saul David. | Caption - Robert Hurst | |
