    I wonder if that tank they are burying in this picture is still there? That would be cool.

    In the first photo the South African soldiers can be identified by the orange tabs on their shoulders.

    I looked around Cassino using google's satellite view. I couldn't find the remains of that structure above, but there's enough space that it is possible no one built over the tank. It looks like Cassino is in a pretty valley.
