Hi there,
I'm looking to put together a picture of my Wife's grandfather's wartime service and a bit of Googling brought me here ...
I'd be grateful if anyone could translate the information on the following document which appears to be a copy of his service record - I only have a scan of the document so unfortunately, I'm unable to clarify any letters or words that might be unclear,
I know no Italian but here's my take on it -
He joined the 55th Reg 'Brescia' Artillery Division, then moved somewhere else the ?8th reg Artillery '???o ?
His service number was: 4938/341?
Went operational in June of 1940? and I guess he was captured 20th January 1941?
Discharged in Taranto 1946?
here's the paperwork:
Tony ended up as a POW in South Africa before coming to Scotland where he started a little Italian empire of his own
Any info greatly appreciated.
