12. Shirt-off time for reader Bill Cavies, which can be a brave thing to do in Austria, especially in the mountains. We'll let him explain: "We were having a rest from mountain training at Smelz in 1952. We were based in Trieste, Italy. The Loyals Regiment was also there so plenty of Preston lads will remember the place." Another Prestonian, Tony Egan, a fellow Lancashire Fusilier, is to his immediate right. The others were from Manchester. Many thanks to Bill, one of our Moor Nook readers. Fuseliers lads in Austria 1952 from Bill Cavies.
