This page attempts to show what life at the front lines was really like. It contains photos and stories from veterans who served in Italy without the boring history details. The intent is to tell the story of the average GI, who fought in the mountains of Italy. Includes many un-published photos donated by veterans. Includes links to group photos several companies and batteries before they left the US. THE GREATEST GENERATION provides
short, biographical sketches of veterans who served in
Italy.
Each one includes a photo of the soldier during the war and after the
war.
Includes biographies of soldiers from various divisions and some who
were
captured and killed in action. Some biographies describe the
training and combat experiences. Some include a description of
the
battle. This provides a personal touch to the history books.
