Hi Everyone,
I open the debate on the 24ª Legione CC.NN. "Carroccio", with its beautiful distinctive divisional, designed and built by Italian Consul Commander Italo Romegialli.
The badge is silver and has a slight rectangular shape, dimensions are 3.0 * 3.5 cm. Very nice graphics of the dist. where you see the MVSN dagger that pierces the Suez Canal, the left side and below a beam with the writing of the cross of the Legion motto "Menare. " Under the name of the Legion, "24ª LEGIONE D'ASSALTO".
On April 13, 1941 is Easter. come to the troops the best wishes of the General Messe and the General Commander Melotti Div. Cuneo,
Time is against: glimpses of rain alternating with sleet. Easter on the same day the order arrives at the 24 th Legion of rising Skutarait waiting on the line of the order of attack.
The Legion at 6:30, two-column starts to move forward towards q.133 and 66; the CC.NN., despite the unprecedented violence of the fire climb into shares with exemplary courage, supported by flanking fire 47/32 of guns and that of heavy machine guns. The losses are suffered serious but not decrease the aggressiveness of CC.NN. decided in a rush to reach the enemy positions.
While under fire, shall personally send a company held in reserve, reinforcement departments attackers, is shot to death on 1° Seniore Bartolena Eduardo, adjutant in the 1st of the 24 th Leg. Also died the adjutant to the 2nd of the XXV Battalion, Centurione Cerudi , Centurione Giarmoleo the fall (open a center for fire, seized an automatic weapon and he started on it) and Capomanipolo Amorelli that reached q.133, they threw in the trenches in the enemy trench studded with hand grenades until they collapsed fully achieved by a burst of machine gun fire. Other officers still fell heroically, always at the head of their departments: CapoManipolo Giulio Tuci, Cent. Andreoni, Cent. Ronzani and CapoManipolo Pruzzi and Tauschech. At Capomanipolo Tuci will be granted the Gold Medal at the memory.
At 8:15 133 fee was finally conquered by the Company of the 2nd Battalion XXIV. which continued, driven by his commander Cent. Rao Torres, chasing the opponent.
The glorious day has cost the "Carroccio", in an uninterrupted 15 hours of fighting, heavy losses:
- Fallen: 57 including 9 officers;
- Injured: 158 including 11 officers;
- Missing 24 in 1 Officer.
Burning Legion made up of brave warriors from military past enviable.
One example is the Centurion TONINO GIARMOLEO born in Milan September 20, 1905.
