Hey Ex, that application is a nice piece of personal history.
On the evening of June 4, 1944 members of the FSSF entered Rome. They were some of the first Allied soldiers to enter the city.
I think the spelling of Colona on the application should have been Colonna.
Colonna is a small town about 10 miles south of Rome.
