Heroic Brothers (Colour Litho)

Heroic brothers. Romolo and Angelo Vannini, lost their father and sister in the bombing of Urbania (Pesaro), enlisted. In Cassino, out of patrol and was injured, Romulus was joined on all fours by his brother under the crackling of the blows, but he refused to leave his post. Together with Angelo I shot the last magazine of his machine gun, and the brother who wanted to bring him to safety answered, First the weapon!. And only after this was dragged into our lines did he let himself be carried on his shoulders. Shortly after a volley hit the two heroes to death. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 9 April 1944.
