A few faint Canadian footprints, from 1943, can still be found on the beaches of Sicily and Italy.
However, with each passing year there are fewer Allied World War 2 veterans alive who, 70 years ago - in July and September - stepped upon Sicilian and Italian shores with fervent hopes of breaking the grip of Axis forces in that part of the world.
In the very near future only their stories and fading photographs will remain.
