| | Inventory of World War II Map of Italy : Sheet 160 Cassino and Sheet 161 Isernia: ca. 1943 |
 | | The taking of the monastery of Monte Cassino, which punctuated the line of German fortifications called the Gustav Line, was finally accomplished after bitter fighting by American, French, Canadian, British, and perhaps, most memorably, Polish forces, who are credited with finally taking the rubbled monastery itself at very great cost. |
| | Although the owner of the map is not identified, the inscriptions of observations of various military actions, labeled by time and oriented to the military grid on the map, primarily of the Isernia area, attest to heavy fighting southwest of the town of S. Pietro Infine, much apparently centered on the town of Mignano. |
| | Two colored topographic maps, one of Cassino, Italy, the other of Isernia, Italy, in Transverse Mercator Projection with military grid lines, joined into one sheet, measuring 50 x 72 cm., showing cities, towns, rivers, streams, roads (major roads in red stamped with numbers), railroads, with relief shown by countour lines and spot heights. |
