BRITISH SECTOR TOUR

Tour in the footsteps of DDay Dodgers!

The British Soldiers fighting in Italy were called D-Day Dodgers because public perception in Englad was  that the war in Italy was a cake walk and that the war in France was the tough front. Lady Astor, the first woman to sit as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons, supposedly called the men in Italy D-Day Dodgers because they were avoiding the “real war.” A song called “The Ballad of the D-Day Dodgers” was composed as a response to Lady Astor’s remarks. This song is given in the comic in the final section as the corpses of the men readers have grown attached to are shown.
