Quite interesting, too bad there are not photos of Italian soldiers; in that war Italy lost about 650,000 soldiers
Both my grand fathers took part to the WWI , one got injured by an Austrian granade, and the other was granted a bronze medal as although injured in a leg managed to take a message that saved other soldiers; but even years after he never took any advantage of that decoration (I rememeber my father saying that he used to give his medal to the kids to play)...
