    No, these are the facts

    Durante la succedentisi esplosioni de una polveriera incendiata, con lunga fatica e con grave pericolo, cooperava al salvataggio di due soldati rimasti sepolti sotto le macerie della polveriera spessa

     
     

    During the successful explosions of a burned powder keg, with long effort and with serious danger, he cooperated on the rescue of two soldiers who remained buried under the rubble of the thick powder keg

    "Succedentisi" is not translated as successful but rather "explosions in sequence". I think it gives a better idea of the context... The chain reaction of an exploding powder keg. Must had been hell.

    Hello Steve,

    here you go:

    Valentino Laganà, from Melito Porto Salvo (Reggio Calabria), Second Lieutenant
    Bombard Group.

    During the sequence explosions of a burning storeroom for ammunition (powder magazine), with great effort and in serious danger, he cooperated in the rescue of two soldiers buried under the rubble of the that same storeroom for ammunition.
