Index – Foreigner – World War I soldier remains in Italy



[ad_1]

The remains of Austro-Hungarian soldiers from the First World War were found in the autonomous province of Trento, Italy, near Mount Civerone.

Based on one of the buttons on the soldier’s uniform, it was identified that he was one of the so-called emperor hunters of the Austro-Hungarian army. Imperial hunters were foot soldiers belonging to the old army, mostly from the Alpine landscapes, specially trained and assigned in shooting.

The remains of the soil were found by savages in the forests of Mount Civerone. They also found the projectile that hit the soldier at that moment.

The body was transported to Castelnuovo and the remains will be deposited in the Austro-Hungarian military cemetery near Civerone.

Between June 10 and 29, 1917, a mountain battle took place in the area, during which 25,000 Italians and 9,000 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy lost their lives.

Due to the melting of glaciers, the remains of soldiers in times of war have been discovered more and more frequently in Trento in recent years. In September, at an altitude of 3,150 meters on Mount Crozzon di Lares, two mountaineers found the body of a WWI soldier on a glacier.
