Anyway, does anyone have more photos of the Gruppo Esplorante of the S. Marco div., the Ettore Muti of Milan, R.A.P or IX Settembre of the GNR?

Wallonien,
the picture linked from a blog is for 6th Ftr Rgt of San Marco DIvision, picked up in Calice Ligure, near me. Marò in center of it is well knonw, there was an article on U&A many years ago with his history.

[wallonien]

Ah ok, thank you for this info Bruno!

Ciao Bruno,

Si...Calice Ligure proprio vicino a Savona


Great photos with great details! These guys from the Gruppo Esplorante were tough and brave!

Bruno, would be great if you could post the scan of the U&A with the history of the Marò

cheers

Collar tabs for Gruppo Esporante are Black, San Marco are Red.

Anyway, great photos Dennis! I really like the one with the "Cacciatore degli Appennini" soldier, you don't see photos of them too often!

[Dennis S]

Actually what I meant to write was; the "skinniest" Decima Mas NCO I have ever seen


On your photo I like his well worn shield.

Unknown unit, the caption says GNR but without any visible insignia it's hard to tell, they're wearing an assortment of different uniforms. It looks like one of the soldiers is armed with a german Flammenwerfer.
