JOURNEY OF REMEMBRANCE. As sisters Margaret and Shirley fly to Italy, they begin telling the story of their father, Harold, a soldier in the New Zealand Medical Corps in World War Two. There is his training in Fiji, where he meets his sweetheart Vera, and his work in Egypt and Palestine before he joins the Field Ambulance heading for North Africa. Arriving at Rome, the sisters pick up his trail through the Italian Campaign. It leads them to many sites, from muddy fields to a village school; from the bombardment of Cassino to a little village where family life means so much to Harold. The trail continues on, winding its way through Tuscany and back to the east coast to a castle. From there, Harold begins his journey home but trials and danger are not quite over yet.
