Calabrian-Americans in the U.S. Military During World War I: Essays and Vignettes, Volume 3

Perhaps as many as ten thousand Calabrian-Americans served in the U.S. military during World War I. Historian Peter L. Belmonte has spent more than twenty years researching these men, and he has published more than seven volumes about Calabrians in World War I. This volume contains essays, vignettes, and articles about some of the more interesting aspects of their service. In this book, we read about Calabrian-Americans in U.S. Guard Battalions men who were wounded two or more times, men who served in U.S. Navy Bands, and men whose service spanned the time from before World War I to after World War II. This book is wonderfully illustrated with photographs of many of the men and some of the documents associated with their service. This is the third volume of miscellaneous vignettes about Calabrians in the U.S. military during World War I.
