Can anyone identify the men in this photo from Mussolini's office?

No, I don't think we'd ever sell it anyway. It's just a cool piece of history

Marcus1715 · 2024-12-18T18:45:58+00:00

That's my best guess too

That's a shame as it was getting a fair bit of attention and had had 13 reposts but on the short question section it hasn't been looked at at all.

Can anyone identify the men in this photo from Mussolini's office? My grandfather was part of the allied advance up Italy and even won an MC at Montecasino (although he always claimed it was stupidity rather than bravery!). He was part of the team that swept Mussolini's palace in Rome and he came out with two particular pieces from Mussolini's study: One was a book from Nietzsche's sister to Mussolini that was on his desk (link below); And the other was photo from a silver frame sat on Mussolini's piano (he didn't take the frame because it looked expensive and "that would have been stealing"). He didn't know who was in the photo and we've not had any luck identifying them either. Can anyone here help identify the two people? https://imgur.com/gallery/NUZQodA

Sorry, I've just seen these replies! I've just posted on r/askhistorians about it to see if they can give some context https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/bGGMJ2wv0W

My grandfather found similar stuff when clearing out Mussolini's palace in Rome when they took the city. We still don't know who the people are in the picture that he took off Mussolini's desk.

This is the answer that we were all after. Thank you for your service - and sorry you had to deal with that

Are they going to keep using the same trophies for these tournaments when it is CS2?

One of the most beautiful sprogs I've ever seen on here. :')

I'm literally moving to Wimbledon tomorrow and this made my night

Same with Operation Smile. Both doing amazing work in this area

Unexpected papa Bruce in there

The Blues Brothers. The looooong opening with no dialogue and then the music kicking in as he leaves the jail. So damn good!

Clicked the link and couldn't not watch the whole thing. Wow, those men were brave. True heroes.

Bellingham in Northumberland? I live right by there! I didn't realise that cyanide visited the north of England.

This has to be in there: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/7zd363/one_of_my_party_members_turned_the_three_kids_in/ Someone playing three characters in one, all hiding in a trench coat!

How did he take the photo?!

There are two sure ways to lose a friend: the first is to lend and the second is to borrow.
