The Political Landscape in the FTT.
The aims of the Betfor Association are to enable members to renew old friendships made during service days, to organise reunions, to promote good fellowship and exchange reminiscences through our website and forum and, primarily, via the Betfor journal.
If you served in Betfor, if you have comments and reminiscences about Trieste, especially if you served in the armed forces in Veneto, Venezia-Giulia or Trieste between 1945 and 1954, we should be glad to hear from you.
For ex-service men, especially those who served in BETFOR. We also welcome our friends in TRUST and all who know and love Trieste.

Tom and Sara Jacobs have generously agreed to take on the task of making back copies of journals available to members. They already do sterling work in sending out the quarterly journal to members. We are very grateful to them.
Copies are charged at £2. They are printed by a process which makes them of a higher print quality than the originals.
Larry Southgate has put together a mini-guide to help anyone who may wish to visit Trieste independently. Follow the link top right to Larry's page.
