The Remittance Man has this post commemorating the taking of Monte Casino in WW2 by Free Polish Forces.
The inscription on their memorial reads:
WE POLISH SOLDIERS
FOR OUR FREEDOM AND YOURS
HAVE GIVEN OUR SOULS TO GOD
OUR BODIES TO THE SOIL IN ITALY
AND OUR HEARTS TO POLAND
Today, as we honor our own war dead, let's remember also our allies from The Revolution to Afghanistan.
