During World War II, several British army units served in North Africa, Italy, and Sicily, including the 8th Army, which played a crucial role in the North African Campaign. Key divisions within the 8th Army included the 4th and 7th Armoured Divisions, known for their significant contributions in battles like El Alamein. Additionally, the British 1st Infantry Division and various commando units participated in the Italian campaign, while the British 50th Infantry Division was active in Sicily. These units collectively helped to secure vital victories in the Mediterranean theater.
North Africa/sicily/Italy/d-day
you can see Africa from the Sicilian Island of Pantelleria - which is closer to Africa then Sicily (30 miles) on a clear day you could see the shores of Tunisia
Africa is a big place. So is Italy. From Sicily to Tunisia is about 50 minutes. From Milan to South Africa is about 11 hours.
The name of the large island directly off the southern tip of Italy and north of Africa is the island of Sicily. You're welcome.
The islands between Italy and north Africa are Sardinia, Sicily, and I think the third one is Corsica.
North Africa/sicily/Italy/d-day
The three large islands between Italy and north Africa are Sardina, Sicily (which are part of Italy) and the third island is Corsica.
Yes i'm from Sicily and it's close to Africa.
You are probably referring to Sicily
Sicily is an island in the southwest of Italy.
Sicily is part of Italy which is part of Europe, therefore it would be logical to say Sicily is on the European Continent. The island however sits on the African tectonic plate so geographically it is part of Africa.
