bryansk1959 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Good afternoon. Question on the ribbon of the cross II Army. In my collection there is a cross on a ribbon, usual for all sources by the awards of Italy.Recently acquired another cross(Fassino) and received a message from the seller that this cross was originally worn on a black ribbon in memory of soldiers, Who died in the Battle of Caporreto. II army was defeated by the Austrians, but made it possible to withdraw 1st and 3rd armies. Neither did I find this confirmation, maybe someone has information on this fact. Thank you in advance.

claudio2574 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The info is correct. The original ribbon was black. However, since these crosses were NOT official awards, the ribbon was not fixed by any rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
