Italy, 1944-10. Informal group portrait of Italian partisans or underground resistance fighters, most of them carrying rifles, with some allied servicemen in the Salerno-Naples area. The man in a forage cap in the back row is a RAF serviceman. The servicemen wearing Australian slouch hats and standing at extreme left, extreme right and 3rd from right in the back row are members of No. 451 Squadron RAAF. The squadron was based at Gragnano west of Salerno. (Donor M. Johnson)
