Mussolini Sacked By His King – Daily Mail 07/31/1943

Headline:”Mussolini Sacked By His King”
From the Overseas weekly edition of the Daily Mail,  07/31/1943

This newspaper has an odd front page of heavier, construction-type paper.  Possibly because it was an overseas edition?

Main focus of this edition is Mussolini being deposed by the King of Italy and the fall of fascism in Italy.  Other articles and advertisements painting a picture of daily life in World War 2 Britain.

There is a small tear along the right and left sides of the horizontal fold.
