Inside the eyes of the boys of '99 sent on November 10, 2020 (12:42) by Lorisb. 88 comments, 2113 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”

My grandfather went to those mountains to fight for his homeland like so many Sardinian boys was among the few who knew Italian and for this reason they put him to translate what the other Sardinians said, he came from a seaside town where snow never falls and never freezes catapulted on those gigantic mountains at twenty degrees below zero he could not taste the grandeur of those beautiful mountains but the Sardinians are hard people , after my grandfather on his return from the war did for many years the miner, he never told me about the beauty of those places only of terror and cold death and hunger, beautiful testimony Loris bravo

[ODDS] ... but she who loved him was waiting for the return of a living soldier, of a dead hero who will do with it, if next to her in bed she was left with the glory of a medal of memory... [/QUOTAS] Fabrizio De Andrè, The Ballad of the Hero.
So much Loris,
your beautiful caption made me think of this wonderful song from the great Faber.
Congratulations on the beautiful image of these beautiful mountains that we hope to see only covered in snow and never more than... Blood.
A very affectionate greeting,
Paolo

I read with interest and emotion, having had my grandfather Knight of Vittorio Veneto.
Visit all the most important war cemeteries, as well as the little ones. What can I say? I can't go on. Never felt so much emotion!
Thane Loris!
Buon afternoon!

The photo is suggestive but the caption is touching, my grandfather was also in those areas during the war and luckily he could return home. Hello

With this beautiful photo and the story in the caption you have brought out so many emotions.
The "great war" was one of the bloodiest conflicts in our history, in every Italian family there are testimonies lived more or less directly that involved the whole population.
I never met my grandparents, my maternal grandfather was seriously injured and although he managed to get home
he died a short time later. His paternal grandfather lost his life in battle and it was only later, in the 1970s, that my father
after a long and difficult search, was able to discover that he was buried in the cemetery of Oslavia.
Thank you Loris for your attention and sensitivity so that these memories always stay with us.
Ciao, Livy

This caption is very moving and interesting to read a couple of times so as not to forget .... think of the jokes of Life .... I had my grandfather on the part of my mother who fought with the Austrians and the Grandfather by my father was with the "Italian army ..... and I am between the anvil and the hammer with emotions..... but" one thing is important .......... NEVER FORGET ..........

My grandfather who was Knight of Vittorio Veneto told me that those boys of '99 were called to arms especially after the defeat of Caporetto (October 24, 1917) to strengthen the lines of piave and grappa, they made a great contribution united to the experience of veterans (including my grandfather); this allowed in October 1918 the counteroffensive of Vittorio Veneto that led to the final victory of the Italian army over the Austro-Hungarian army and the signing of the armistice. Nice photo (also in BN) and touching caption, congratulations Loris!
Cyo! Sergio ;-) :-P

Nice photo, great composition and color rendering, very interesting caption. Hello.

Very nice this picture.... but the caption is an admirable and profound reflection
Figure yourself.... I did the military on these mountains.... now when I climb these beautiful peaks I feel a sense of freedom
but when I was forced, loaded like a mule and always running I felt like in prison
I dare not think what they felt .... who on these peaks has known or found death
My grandfather something has told me ...... knight of Vittorio Veneto and gold medal dismissed almost Czech in one eye and lame for freezing
Then years in which he lived with us, I heard him several times, at night, shouting in his sleep "COMRADES!!!! TO THE ASSAULT!!!!!"
Luckily we can experience these beautiful places just for their beauty....
I apologize for the very long comment
A dear greeting
Stefano
