Dang Ed, where do you find this stuff?

[Ed Hicks]

This is part of a group of Mussolini's personal items removed from his desk in his office at Lake Garda as souvenirs by a 10th Mountain NCO in 1945...Other objects include a presentation bronze eagle, letters from his files and more...I would consider this book to be significant historically. Ed

Next time I'm down at Bragg you will have to show me this stuff.

Il Duce Presentation Bronze Eagle & Plaque

Il Duce Presentation Bronze Eagle & Plaque taken from his office...The GI ditched the marble base after removing the plaque due to the logistics of hauling souvenirs of such cumbersome weight. Ed

Ed, Rudy translated the plaque as have been installed on a map of some sort presented to Mussolini by the Blackshirts of the City of Genoa. You might contact him.

[Ed Hicks]

Thanks for the help...There are several metal plaques in the group so it may be one of the smaller ones... Do you have Rudy's contact details? Ed
