The Trasimene Heritage Walk is a tribute to the Canadians who bravely served our country in military conflicts, and honours Currie’s rich military history. The walk was originally named after a Second World War battle near Lake Trasimene. Located in Tuscany, the Trasimene Line was a German defensive position that the Allies were able to penetrate, ultimately forcing the Germans out of Italy. This became a significant victory for the Allies. Three divisions of Canada’s First Armoured Brigade, including the Calgary, Ontario and Three Rivers regiments, received the Trasimene Line battle honour.
The Trasimene Heritage Walk pathways are part of the original wooded areas of the Currie Barracks where numerous initiatives celebrate the barracks' history. Located on the heritage walk is the Letters Home installation — stories told through the letters that four Canadians wrote home during their service in military conflicts.
