Ok here's the first batch of his pictures. these are his portraits. I have pics of him in Libya which I will definitely scan and post here when I locate them. probably next week some time.

earliest picture i think probably in 1935-36 during the Ethiopian wars?

1940

Nonno Ercole Tripoli 1941 and Nonno Vittorio Napoli 1942 Air Force

Heres one I just came across looking for these Photo's it's my great Uncle Mariano, My grandfather's brother. Any of you guys can give me info on him would also help me out too. Thanks.

My apologies I found the matching patch at the Italian army website. and as Lupo pointed out its not a divisional patch.

Your great uncle Mariano, as already told by Barbarigo, was in the sanitary corps. The star on the hat and the color of his collar patches (correctly retouched in the black and white picture) are a sure sign of this.

Your grandfather was in artillery (just as Lupo told you in the other thread).

Best regards
