EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the various types of soldiers serving in the Italian Army during World War I. Taken in 1919 by Richard Simkin, a renowned artist and illustrator, it offers a glimpse into the diverse units that fought on behalf of Italy during this tumultuous period. The image captures soldiers from different branches of the military, including Infantry of the Line, Bersaglieri (light infantry), Artillery, and Cavalry. Each soldier is depicted in their respective review order and service dress, highlighting their unique uniforms and equipment. From left to right, we see infantrymen donning battledress with rifles at their side. Next are the Bersaglieri troops recognizable by their distinctive feathered hats known as "piume". The artillerymen stand proudly beside their guns while cavalry officers sit atop majestic horses. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Simkin's skilled hand. This historical photograph was featured in Volume VI of "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects" written by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. Published by Caxton Publishing Company Ltd. , London in 1919, this comprehensive account provides valuable insights into one of history's most devastating conflicts. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us remember those brave men who served Italy during World War I and honor their sacrifices for country and freedom.
