In my older War history it says the Polish who took it.
So to be sure(I could remember wrong) I made a search
Who Took Monte Cassino ?
Answer:
Polish troops
Polish troops finally captured Monte Cassino on May 18, 1944, five months into the bloody campaign and four months after the monastery was leveled.
Question number 2.
Did Gurkhas take part in battle of Monto Cassino?
Answer
Gurkha troops, of the 4th Indian Division (part of the Allied 8th Army) were heavily involved.
