Chapter 8, 'Moving Back to the Front Lines' from Fred Kingdom's memoir 'Looking Back Over Time'. In March 1945, Kingdom’s regiment received new Sherman tanks, including one with a 105mm howitzer. They were transferred by rail to Rimini, witnessing the aftermath of intense fighting. The unit advanced toward the Battle of the Argenta Gap, a pivotal operation in the final stages of the Italian campaign.
 Key events included: mock assault to reacquaint troops with tank combat; feint operation near the Po River, drawing German forces into a trap; three-phase pincer movement involving multiple regiments, aiming to encircle the elite German Parachute Regiment, which ultimately escaped across the river; destruction of a fellow tank and participated in search operations for German Tiger tanks; helping to manage German POWs The chapter ends with the realization that the Battle of the Argenta Gap marked the beginning of the end of the war in Italy.
