Trieste "not actually split"? De jure perhaps so, de facto it was very
much split right from the beginning: Zone A developed in quite a different
fashion than Zone B.
As I mentioned previously, on Monte Cocusso (Koko)
there are border markers numbered 79-28, 79-25, 79-23, 79-22
(from South to North), which suggestes they have been set in 1979. The numbering
follows the sequence as shown in the map, only that the map is further
South.
Following WWII, there have been a number of
demarcation lines between Italy and Yugoslavia up for discussion at the 1947
Paris peace conference. In August 1946 a military unit under Lieutenant J. B.
Burrows tried to survey and map the so-called "French line", for example.
The reason for this activity was that the peace conference had only a 1: 50,000
map available, so that the "French line" was vague. The section that Burrows
worked on reached from Tarvisio in the North down to Trieste in the South,
however it did not reach beyond the "Morgan line" in the yugoslavian occupied
zone, i.e. not firther to the South and East. Slowenian farmers wives often came
across the fields and threw stones at Burrows' men in order to dispel them. Once
the stones hit a Russian member of Burrows' party and struck him, so that he
lost his consciousness. When "successful" the farmers wives removed the
marker poles so that finally the demarcation could not be carried to a
presentable end.

remember
trieste was not actually split
but was
just an abortive condo
or supposedly neutral area
that never actually
came into being as such
my guess is that these markers are just itsi
or rather ityu originally
1954 or later
