"Missing, Captured, Killed!: Visions & Victims of Mussolini's Wars" attractively presented five-frame Open Class exhibit on double-size pages chronicling the rise & demise of Benito Mussolini. All sorts of interesting material from propaganda PPCs & Postal Cards including laying claim to Malta, to a complete newspaper re the Sinking of the 'Arandora Star'. Also Occupation stamps, 1935 registered cover to Mussolini, POW mail from Italians in North Africa, Camps in East Africa & Australia, Red Cross & Vatican Information Office covers & forms, German FPOs in Italy & mourning cards for German soldiers killed in Italy, undeliverable mail, etc etc etc. Plus an array of back-up material, also some pre-1922 & post-1945 mail.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to develop this from a necessarily superficial 5-frame study into a more well-rounded 8-frame exhibit. It's a great story that deserves further endeavour.
