Dear forum members Back in 1946 when I was making my Army Album, I pasted in (on Page 33) an Italian song sheet containing the words to "Angiolina". Does anyone know where I can hear this song on the internet, it may be under it's English title of Angelina ? The nearest I have been able to...

The picture is much more impressive

I thought you might like to see the sheet that I showed the girls and that got us into the amphitheatre for nothing

I would have been more surprised if there had been no changes in the people :roll: Don't forget, it was 66 years since I was last in Sicily. We stayed, by the way, in Taormina which was only 37 miles both from Catania Airport where we landed and Messina which was my major reason for returning. I don...

Precisely !

Ciao I thought that some of the friends I've made on this forum might be interested to learn about my return to Sicily this year. I spent about a month in Sicily during the fighting in WW2 and crossed over to Italy (via the Messina Straits) in September 1943. The last time I made the trip I was in a...

I posted the original photo onto a WW2 site to which I belong.

Here is the link, go have a look: http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/italy/2087 ... 945-a.html

Hi !

I will post this on a WW2 forum and let you know if anyone comes up with an answer

If we are talking about Ancient History then Wikipedia will explain it resonably well The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in about 776 BC .This coincides, roughly, with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 75...

All being well, my wife & I are planning to spend a week in Taormina, in Sicily, during September. I must remember to take throat pastilles with me which I will take before I enter the UK Airport, just in case they are stopping people from flying if they hear them coughing. :lol: :lol: :lol: Cia...

And a very nice picture too

Is there anyone there from this site ?

A good find !

I entered Churchill & Hussars into the search box and found a story of Churchill visiting my unit in the desert but this was well before I joined them and I already have pictures of this event.

Well worth a look so thanks for your notification.

Ron

Did you mean this one ?

That's me on on the right

Hi Bill's Son :lol: Like Larry, I was stationed in Opicina during the 1946/1947 period and (for my sins) have written a fair bit abour that period on this forum. I cannot visualise anyone holding a rank lower than that of a senior commisioned officer being allowed to live outside barracks during tha...

Larry

Can't interpret your dream mate but I can make a suggestion.

Stop eating cheese late at night

Larry, Gene et al Whilst reading your lively piece on trying to keep vehicles from freezing I am reminded of one ploy that we used to use whilst I was in LAA. After a days driving in icy conditions the last job at night was to undo the "banjo" union that led from the petrol tank. One would...

Questa è la verità!

Ron (AKA Rinaldo)

Larry's article that mentions the winter of '46 reminded me of a piece I wrote on the BBC WW2 Archives: I consider myself a fairly active octogenarian and, unless it is raining, I kick-start my day with a three mile circuit of my local park. Despite wearing suitable clothing I confess that I DO noti...

Gene Please...... no talk of hogging the site...... this is the English Section and we are talking about Trieste :lol: I was most interested to read that you were refused a courtesy visit to the old barracks, this bears out completely what happened to me and I think that the persons involved should ...

Gene

It's me again.......

One of the things I miss on this site is the ability to edit my comments when I discover an error.
On my previous posting I meant to say that when you find the "Index of all articles" you should scroll down to "Trieste, Oct'45 to Jan '47"

Ciao

Ron

Gene Many thanks for bringing a breath of fresh air to this forum. I have some questions for you......... 1. This has got to do with the location of the YMCA in Vialle XX Septembre. First of all go to one of my Blogs, namely: http://rongoldsteinsarmyalbum.blogspot.com/ Then, on the right hand side y...
