Very interesting Italian dog tag found in the Voronezh area. Seems like the Ministero Della Difesa site doesn’t work anymore but if I remember verifying in the past Augostino was born in California and died in Russia 1/43, unknown location. Would anyone know if it would be possible to find his exact unit or possible family members here in the USA? Based on where it was found I would suspect one of the three Alpini or the Vicenza divisions. I understand there were quite a few proud Italians that went back to the mother country to fight for Mussolini. Too bad he ended up dying for another cause.

Thanks,

Gary
