Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted yesterday at 01:50 Posted yesterday at 01:50 Hello everyone, Now at the end of the year, talking to some relatives, i finding about a great-great-great uncle who fought and died for Italy during WW1, I don't understand much about the Italian medals requirements and I have a doubt about the medals he would be awarded to. So would it be correct to assume that he would be received the Victory Medal, Unification 1848-1918 and Italo-Austrian War 1915–1918? What about War Merit Cross considering his injuries led to death? All I have information beyond what appears in this image is that he volunteered for the war straight from Brazil. Thank you to everyone who can help me with this issue.

Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted yesterday at 20:59 Author Posted yesterday at 20:59 Thank you very much Chris! It was of great help, if I read correctly then the medals are exactly the 4 I mentioned. Fortunately they are all easy to find, I will have no problem making a representation of the medals he would have received.
