[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 145463, member: 214"] Wally there is a bowling club nearby. Maybe the owner visited there. Ivo. Yes been looking at info on the pendant. Also says October 1916. Rocket found this info .... [url]http://premium.delcampe.net/page/item/id,172825380,var,REGIO-ESERCITO-116-REGGIMENTO-FANTERIA-MOTORIZZATO-MD1720,language,E.html[/url] And I found this... The 116th Italian regiment was part of the 'Treviso' brigade and fought in some of the important battles in the Alps. I think Oct 1916 commentates an important battle the regiment fought in which would be the Eighth Battle of the Isonzo, October 1916. I think the medallion you have is later than that and is from WW2. The regiment became motorised in WW2 where it was part of the 62nd Semi Motorised Division. As with most Italian units of the N. African campaign it was wiped out a few times, once at Bardia by the Australians. [/QUOTE]
