Mussolini’s Blackshirts: records of soldiers.
« on: Wednesday 19 February 25 09:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.

I am trying to help a friend to find out more about his grandfather, who was born and died in Italy. According to my friend, his grandfather served in Mussolini's Blackshirts and was briefly at Gallipoli and fought in Africa during World War Two. I have no other information and no name to work on, but I'm looking for any guidance in finding records. Any help gratefully received.

Thanks,
            Peter

Where did your friends’ parent (son or daughter) of this man live and die?

I would look for their birth, marriage or death certificates (date and country depending) in the hope that their father was named on one or all of them

I can’t offer any guidance regarding where to look for details of his army service.
