Original Toronto Star caption: A church on the site of the Canadian cemetery in Italy which was partially destroyed by the Germans is to be restored and used as a shrine. The chapel was one of the many churches in Italy which have been bombed by the Nazis. Its restoration for a shrine for Canadians who have fallen makes it another hallowed spot where Canadians have fought.
