Thanks for that, it makes good reading.

Have you read "The race for Trieste" by Geoffrey Cox ?
(The ISBN No. is 07183 0375 X)

It covers the same period & locale and I often use it to remind myself of the stirring events of those times.
My Trieste "period" was after the fighting stopped and I was to spend over a year and a half there, returning there last year:

BBC - WW2 People's War - Trieste, October 1945 to January 1947
