DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN/
CONNAISEZ-VOUS CETTE HOMME?


If you recognize the man in the pictures please get in touch with this website by using the email link below.  His elderly parents have not heard from him since June 1980, and only wish to know if he is in good health, or indeed still alive. He is Italian, and his real name is Gianpietro Pavoncelli. His mother saw this photo of a Legionnaire in a magazine and believes it to be her son. Any information concerning his whereabouts is greatly appreciated. Thanks


Connaissez-vous le homme dans ces photos? Il est d'origine Italien et son vrai nom est Gianpietro Pavoncelli.

Sa mere a vu cette photo du Legionnaire dans un revue, et elle pense bien que c'est lui. Si vous-avez des nouvelles, S.V.P. envoyer un lettre par la lien email trouver en dessous.
