mummified
bodies are recovered from
the mountain tops.
I'm Italian and I had 2 great-grandparents who fought in the First World War, one was in the Bersaglieri and came back luckily while the other was a daring and he lost his life on the piave during an assault. Honor all the soldiers of the first war world real heroes.
Crazy to think these people had a life and now they're just frozen in the ice, unidentifiable.
It must have taken a monumental effort to get that artillery piece up on that mountain
My great great grandfather was part of the Gebirgsjäger in the Austro-Hungarian army and fought the Italians in WW1 he survived the war and although I never met him my great grand mother would show me pictures and tell me story's of how they would have to climb 90 degree angle cliffs and hoist huge guns up them and they would walk over massive, bottom-less crevice's and if someone fell down one they wouldn’t even bother to help because he was either dead or there would be no way to get them out. Crazy how horrible war is.
My Nona was orphaned by the war, the Nuns took her in until her older brother could send for her. She was 12 years old, from a small village on the Austrian, and Italian border. How sad. And unnecessary.
For those men that died and got frozen in time on the front, the war never really ended. Its rather sad.
Theoretically,if the DNA in the skin isn't totally gone these soldiers could be identified and restored to the family
That cannon on the top still stands out proudly even after all these years of being long forgotten.
Honor to all this men, both Italians than Austro-Hungarian Soldiers, who bravery gave their life for their Country when it was asked. My great grandfather was an Ardita (an Arditi Soldier) who died during the Monte Grappa Offensive 🇮🇹
It's so sad. I never would die like this, who wants? The bodies of these young men have been lost 100 years ago and their relatives have never seen them. They died lost forever. Only for the madness of a bunch of men which have started a war and never fought.
I won't be coming home
the father of my grandfather died there on the dolomiti mountains, during ww1 his body has never been found
I spent my first two years of military service in the 1.German Mountain Division, including basic training in winter time in the Bavarian Alps. We usually moved up to a level of 2000 meters. It sucked.
Respect their duty
They fought wherever they made eye contact, desert, snow, mountains, woods, villages/citys... So much blood shed. The world needs more love.
RIP Soldiers, Friend and Foe!
We call it La Guerra Bianca, The White War. My grandfhater and his 3 brothers fight in the Carso mountains. My g.f wounded permanently, one of brothers missing in action. Giampiero from Italy
Many men killed on the Italian front lost their lives to avalanches, both from natural slippage and man made avalanches. Absolutely horrible what these men went through
I can only hope they had tags and can go home to lay in peace in their towns and villages....Be at peace boys u earned it....No matter what side soldiers deserve great respect and should be repatriated and buried with honours.....
My great-grandfather fought in northern germany, when He got damaged at his had by a grenade, the soliders thougt He is dead. But He was still alive and walked with this grenade splinter in his head something like 200km...
