Inside the eyes of the boys of '99 sent on November 10, 2020 (12:42) by Lorisb. 94 comments, 2663 views. [retina]

at 70mm, 1/1000 f/8.0, ISO 100, hand held. Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Italy.

Mi sono fatto spesso una domanda e non so se è anche la vostra: come vedevano i " ragazzi del '98 e '99 " (1898-99) queste montagne? Certo non come la mia fotografia. Classi di età anagrafica arruolati e mandati al massacro in queste montagne ed altri luoghi di conflitti nella Prima Guerra Mondiale. Io ho ammirato queste cime in tempo di pace in tutto il loro splendore, loro fuono portati fin lì per combattere il nemico che non conoscevano, loro non capivano perché erano stati arruolati, dalle isole, dal sud, dal centro e nord Italia, venivano arruolati in quelle montagne a combattere una guerra di trincea a pochi metri dal nemico, assalti continui di giorno e di notte con le zone di guerra illuminate dai lanci di bengala, in un inferno di fuoco d'artiglieria, mitragliatrici e assalti all'arma bianca. Qui di seguito vi propongo la decorazione della medaglia d'argento al valor militare dello zio di mia moglie, deceduto negli scontri sul Monte Grappa, per il centenario siamo andati a trovare il suo luogo di sepoltura, all'interno del Sacrario di Bassano del Grappa assieme a migliaia di altri giovani. PETTI SERRANO di Sante (DECORATO DI MEDAGLIA D'ARGENTO AL V. M.) Soldato 57° reggimento artiglieria da campagna nato il 16 settembre 1898 a Foiano della Chiana distretto militare di Arezzo morto il 24 ottobre 1918 sul monte Grappa per ferite riportate in combattimento. “Facente parte di una pattuglia di trincea presso un battaglione, tra l'infuriare del combattimento e sotto il violento bombardamento nemico si offriva volontariamente all'arduo ed eccezionalmente pericoloso compito di portare ordini a nuclei avanzati, dimostrando mirabile coraggio. Mortalmente ferito da una palletta di shrapnel avversaria alla testa, nel soccombere, ebbe ancora la forza d'animo di pronunziare nobili parole. – Col del Cue (Grappa), 24 ottobre 1918”

A gooseskin caption. As I read, I was ententaming myself among these heroic guys.
Broken lives, so many pains that didn't bring down even tears.
My grandfather also fought that war, was wounded in one hand but managed to return safely.
I call them Sacred Mountains because when I trample the soil, the earth and taste that grass-mixed air, and as if I were silently talking to them. Honor!
Compliments dear Loris and thank you.
A dear greeting
Franco

Many in those beautiful mountains that you show have actually left us life or their future anxieties.
Like so many of my grandfather, who was lucky enough to be injured, to lose his thumb and since he could no longer shoot, he was sent home.
Without this event that I consider lucky, my future family and life probably wouldn't have started.
Thi also had the knighthood medal of Vittorio Veneto.!
Bel theme of remembrance what you have often dealt with now set aside.

that war was a slaughterhouse caused by stupidity, without even the excuse of a madman who provoked it as in the second. The worst was not the dead but the hundreds of thousands of seriously injured who had little human left.
Nost of this the places are beautiful :-)

How exciting... my grandfather was a Boy of '99...and he was called 17 years old to comattere on the Adamello, Horn Cavento. There he was wounded in the leg but he had a life long enough to tell me so many things about that war, so many images imprinted in my mind that no film and no book can overcome the intensity of the direct story of the protagonist! Bravo LirisB to remember!

After reading so much and the very strong message launched, I remain silent to admire the photo waiting for a new answer that will never cease to arrive, they are of those questions that every time you do it comes a new answer that does not replace the old one but enriches it ...
honored to have you as a friend Loris...
I can't help but take it in my bookmarks...

Beautiful both, for us it is a spectacular landscape, but go to face a winter under the snow and under enemy fire with only a cape and simple boots with springers.
Ciao, Rosary

I think you know how dear I am to the memory of those who participated in the Great War.
I therefore tell you a "good" with so much admiration for how you document and write.
Reading the story of Petti Serrano, who even now writing his name we are honoring, I see an analogy with Paul Baumer, protagonist of Rermarque's novel.
It seems incredible to die on October 24, 10 days after the end of the conflict and yet....
The grandfather, also born in 1898, was there on grappa.
Bravo Loris.
Paolo

Hi Loris, the mountains are beautiful and with your caption you reminded me of my dear grandfather also very young he fought in The First World War, and was awarded a silver medal, because despite being wounded and only he did not give up but maintained his position until the arrival of reinforcements, despite having fought all the wars of the first half of the twentieth century he died in his bed at the age of 87, but his tales of war, of daring escapes and unlikely hiding places, I remember them with nostalgia, to me as a child he seemed the character of a novel the brave and beautiful hero with his great blue eyes.
A dear greeting and thank you for your testimony
Agatta

How many horrors and how many unnecessary deaths have endured the most beautiful mountains in the world. And with this exciting shot you prove it. Honor to you Loris for remembering this horrible passage of humanity. The First World War, like all the atres, are the worst that the human mind can perpetrate. Congratulations.
bye gios ;-)
