First I want to greet all members and introduce myself!
My name is Enrico Pedrini and I write from Italy, as reported in the above letter one of my hobbies is the research of remnants of war with the metal detector on the battlefields in the area between Bologna and Florence.
This passion has taken me, in years, to recover several items that belonged to GI during WWII, but it's impossible to explain the joy and feelings that you feel when you retrieve a dog-tag! That is the absolute object (for a researcher) and contains all the more personal story of a soldier, and the Man behind that soldier.
Unfortunately, they can not talk and all the memories remain secret in them unless you are able to contact the veteran himself!
You can not imagine my surprise and my happiness when I found the pdf with the name corresponding to my dog-tags.
I thought maybe I could finally find out something about at least one of three dog-tag that I own!
By this I thank you all for any help and I offer you my best wishes.
Enrico
Ps.: I'm sorry for my bad english but I've not studied it and the translators are not perfect...
