A last look at Hill 1034.
	Horrible Highway 120 and the valley between Cerami and Troina.
	Another look at the Highway 120 no-man's land where thousands of artillery shells made the 2 miles from Cerami to Troina impassible.
	Looking north, we can see Mt. Castagna and Mt Basilio where the 26th Infantry Regiment fought to encircle Troina from the north. Individual efforts such as the Medal of Honor winning PVT James W. Reese who staved off an attack of 60 Germans, saving his mortar squad and I Company at the cost of his life, forced the Germans to retreat closer and closer to highway 120 - their eastern escape route. When the 26th approached the highway, the German defenders of Troina were given permission to evacuate. On 6 August 1943, the Germans pulled out and Troina was ours.
	One more look at Cerami. Soon, we boarded our tour bus and left Troina. As a student of the Italian Campaign, it took quite a while to overcome the emotional impact of this visit. Perhaps this was the reason I developed a taste for Italian wine.
	Driving east on Highway 120, along the route of the German withdrawal, Troina still looks imposing.
