Have you ever gone back ?
In late 1945 and the whole of 1946 my unit, the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, was keeping the peace in Trieste.
In 2007, on our way to a week's holiday in Venice, my wife & I spent three days In Trieste and I was able to re-visit some of my old haunts. Early one morning I visited Piazza Goldoni and was able to take this "before & after" photo. The first photo was taken in 1946
