A nice photo. The printed titles were sometimes cut down and used on slip-on type badges. Many people also forget that after Italy surrendered they turned some of their armed forces against the Germans: some even joined an F Sqn, SAS I'm told. Perhaps the young man in your picture was acting as a liaison officer with an Allied HQ?

PS- glad you liked the book. Sadly, sales didn't cover my research costs!

EDIT- I've just noticed that your photo was taken in Jerusalem, so that may negate my theory.
