Hi everyone,
Firstly, I'm not sure if I have posted in the right area, so Mods please feel free to move or delate this post.
I'm writing from Australia and hoping I can get some expert insight on the Alpini in WW2. In particular, the Julia division that my Nonno served in. I don't have a lot of detail as he has unfortunately passed away and never felt comfortable sharing stories.
Does anyone know where I can find any potential photos, information on their deployments and activity during the war, and of course the best way to retrieve his military records? I often think about him and he would never share stories from the war. I know it's a long shot, but my dream is to find a photo of him during the war. Also, I would love to find his military records and share it with my other brothers & sisters.
I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could provide insight or advice on how to best source out this information.
