Italian Soilder - Date and Uniform ID
« on: Wednesday 20 August 25 21:42 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Hoping someone knowledgeable may be able to help me out. I am looking to identify the date of this photograph and also ID the type of uniform this is.
My ancestor is from North Italy - not sure if that helps at all.

Many thanks in advance.

Looks to me like a junior officer or senior NCO in an Alpini regiment. After the Great war - looks very like WWI service medal on our left.

Probably a second lieutenant in 2nd Alpini Regiment. Possibly senior NCO.

The 2nd Alpini regiment was headquartered in Brà, and recruited from the following areas:
Borgo San Dalmazzo
Val Stura
Monte Argentera
Cuneo
Dronero
Val Maira
Bicocca   
Saluzzo
Val Varaita
Monviso

Might be better to post this query in the Armed Forces section.

Thank you! Thats really helpful. I have a name, parents and siblings for this ancestor so maybe with that information along with your suggestions I might be able to figure him out a bit more.
I will repost this in the armed forces too! :)
