Note: The Mantova Mechanized Brigade was a mechanized brigade of the Italian Army. Its core units were mechanized infantry battalions. On 15 March 1942 the 104th Infantry Division Mantova was raised in Verona with the re-activated 113th and 114th infantry regiments and the 11th Artillery Regiment Monferrato. After allied forces had landed on the Italian peninsula and an armistice between Italy and the Allies had been signed, the division stayed loyal to the Italian King Victor Emmanuel III.

t-ww058cWW 058On 26 September 1943 the division ceded part of the 11th Artillery Regiment to help form the Italian 1st Motorized Group under command of the 58th Infantry Division Legnano, which was to aid in the allied war effort. In spring 1944 the division took command of the remnants of the 155th Infantry Division Emilia after they had been repatriated from combat against German forces in Dalmatia. At the beginning of fall 1944 the division was ordered to re-organize as a Combat Group destined for the frontlines in central Italy. The 76th and 114th infantry regiments and 155th artillery regiment were brought up to strength and equipped with British materiel. By spring 1945 the division was ready to join the British Eighth Army, but it arrived at the front just as the German forces in Italy were surrendering.

Rare image of the death of a Garibaldi descendant in World War 1 from a Spanish confectionary card. Described on back. I could find only one reference to a Garibaldi descendant dying in World War 1. It is John Garibaldi, son of Felice Garibaldi from Piave di Brancoli who came to the USA with General Garibaldi in 1850. John was born in the US and although an American he appears to have fought and died with the Italian army. He is shown wearing the famous Garibaldi red shirt although this might be pure fantasy. Also included is the January 10-17, 1915 issue of La Domenica del Corriere, showing same event. MM
