My wife was born in Milan, saw Mussolini corps strung
up in next street. Father would not let headmistress
join her to Musso's geovani. He listened to Radio
Londra with head under a blanket to avoid discovery!
His views on Musso. agreed with Churchill. Uncle drove
army lorry on Russian front. Managed to drive back to
Milan with load of diserters, disappeared and
survived. Adelaide came to Oxford to study Papiri in
Bodleian, we met and married. John Osborne 02076395147
