Named FJ badge - dugout in Italy

[alessio cammelli]

Hello guys...today one of my friend has found (with metal detector) here in Italy a FJ badge named to "ASCHE"....

in the place it came from, during the allied offensive of september 1944, fought at least two regiments of the 4^ FJ division (11°/12°).....

could someone help him to find something else about that soldier?

thanks to all in advance..

There are no records showing on the Volksbund site for a August Heist. The closest are 2 August Heister, both dying in WW 1.

There is always the chance that the original owner of the FJ badge wasn't killed and that it broke loose and he lost it.
