Can you post here a close-up about these medals? (obverse and reverse).

CAPUTO Vito, from Lecce, infantry soldier

Silver Medal for Military Valour (Posthumous):

"After his captain was killed in action, regardless of the enemy rifle and machine-gun fire, he hurried to recover him and, while he was taking the body upon his shoulders, fell killed. San Mauro, August 7th, 1916".

Best wishes,

E.L.

P.S.: the medal bar looks like "upgraded": a soldier couldn't be awarded with the order of the Crown of Italy.
