They staged shows for the benefit of the soldiers of the Fifth and Eighth Armies serving in Italy in 1944. During one two-week period, just before the &quot;Big Push,&quot; they gave 68 performances at Anzio, three by the full band and three by the dance band each day. There were no casualties amongst the musicians during their entire tour.<br /> <br /> Many of the soldiers in the audience came directly from their front line positions and returned directly to the fighting after the shows.
