Manchester Regiment 1917-1918 in ITALY
« on: February 09, 2024, 11:07:29 AM »
Dear All,

I'm italian, I'm doing a big research on WW1 on Euganean Hills area - near Padua - North Italy.

There are few infos about that but  I found some english documents and pictures of British Army of this area, the Head Quarter was in town near Padua-Abano such as Torreglia , Galzignano , Teolo , Praglia.
British Forces teached to italians some war technics to win on Piave Battle of 1918 and stop the war. I want to tell this to italians never read it in the Story Books at school. Also some Gordon Higlanders come in Italy.

I found some of these infos also in the book "Military Operations Italy 1915-1919" by Edmonds.

In this forum, is there someone found other infos or grandfather remembrance, photo or documents ?

PS: I found in this area some M1917 Einfield rifle cartridge and  an shoulder title "Manchester Regiment" in the ground,  I need to know more.

Thank you
Filippo
