    Visit to pay respects to Corporal Lawrence Lush DCM
    We visited my partners great uncle Corporal Lawrence Lush DCM from Wallop who died in January 1944 for what we believe was the first visit by the family and we won’t forget it.

    Corporal Lush was awarded the DCM for his bravery in action. He sadly died of his wounds after being injured in action several days later. He was much missed by his family and is still talked about to this day. He was very brave and we were very proud to visit his final resting place and pay our respects on behalf of his family.

    Another reviewer asked if someone could take a photo of the grave of Private John Donovan who by coincidence was buried in the row in front of Lawrence. I have uploaded a photo of his grave. We also paid our respects on behalf of his family.

    I noticed all of the graves have individual poems, religious quotes, wording, etc on them. This is because the families/next of kin were asked for wording for the graves by those who established the cometary. The wording would have been chosen by their next of kin, many of whom sadly would never visit their child, spouse or relatives grave.

    Private Lush was buried in plot 7, row j, grave 7. There are 2000 graves split over 8 similar size plots. 4 plots on either side of the central memorial. The graves are easy to find. The end graves are marked, for example the end grave of plot 7 row J is marked with 7 J on the side of the end grave stone telling you that is plot 7 row j which helps and you then walk along the row until you find the grave you want to find.

    At the end of the entrance path and central in the cemetary is a small building with what looks like a post box in the middle. It is easy to miss but inside this it contains the visitors book which tells you where they are buried if you’ve not already found it on the commonwealth graves website. You can also sign a visitors book also contained within this pillar box.

    The cemetery was impeccably kept as other reviewers have said and it was very moving to see all the graves and their young ages.

    We visited from Sorrento. We got the train from Sorrento to Naples Garibaldi which took just over an hour. Naples central is upstairs in the same station and upstairs from the vesuvius train line which goes between Sorrento and Naples. The Naples station sold us a single ticket for 5.50 euros from Naples central to Minturno Scala. I am not sure why they did not sell us a return for 11 euros but we bought a single for 5.50 euros later from Minturno to get back so it wasn't important as it was the same price. The journey to Minturno Scala took an hour from Naples.

    Once there we walked an hour from the station. Basically we crossed the station to the opposite side of the station from the cafe. You then walk towards the coast and downhill away from the Hills for a few minutes until you reach the main road which is the SS7 connecting Rome and Naples. From there turn left and walk out of town for an hour and eventually you reach the cemetery. We ignored google earth saying walk down the small access road just before the cemetery and stayed on the main road. The route google sends you would take you to the main car park at the back of the cemetery but we simply stayed on the main road which was much easier and entered via the main road entrance with the columned entrance next to a hotel (which was shut in October and I assume is only opened in the summer season). You see a Roman aqueduct just before you reach the cemetery . If it helps I've downloaded a photo of Minturno which shows the town map and the map is very helpful.

    Beautiful but dangerous
    We found this beautiful secluded beach full of colours so we parked our car to decide if we were staying. We walked 100 meters, decided to stay and when we went back for our belongings (after 15 minutes) the window of our car was destroyed and one of our cell phones stolen. Be careful if you go by car

    Worth the detour
    This archeological site was recommended to me by friends that live in the region and I was glad to have had the opportunity to finally visit.
    There is ample free parking on-site and the entrance fee is only 5 Euros. I first visited the museum which is housed at the base of the theatre and was pleasantly surprised to see so many displays of sculptures, and relics preserved from the ruins.
    Then I moved to visit the seating section of the theatre which is also well preserved unlike the rest of the vast grounds of this old important Roman port city.
    The whole site is easy to tour in more or less an hour if it's like on my visit when there were few visitors.

    Really interesting site
    Really interesting site. This used to be the bridge over the river - but now there is a new modern span and this brifge is closed to traffic. However you can cross by foot and can see the impact damage from the shelling it took during WWII.

    Very Beautiful
    This church located on a narrow street in the old town of Minturno is its cathedral and a church of extraordinary beauty. It was built in the 9th century, rebuilt in the 12th century, and underwent a series of transformations in the following centuries.
    It has an impressive stone staircase leading up to the front entrance and was built with some remains (columns, marble, and materials) from the old Roman town of Minturnae.
    It is constructed in the shape of a Latin cross and has three naves.
    At the time of our visit, mass was being said.
