Hi Marker, unfortunately your link no longer works. To whom it concerns: Thank you for freeing Austria from the Nazis!
Is this the article?

@Revelator it appears so.
@Xando yes, as I mentioned in the OP, the article was only available over that weekend, but that's now been solved. FYI my father was part of the allied (British) army who moved into Austria from Italy at the end of WW2.
