Perhaps as many as ten thousand Calabrian-Americans served in the U.S. military during World War I. Historian Peter L. Belmonte has spent more than twenty years researching these men, and he has published more than five volumes about Calabrians in World War I. This volume contains essays, vignettes, and articles about some of the more interesting aspects of their service. In this book, we read about Calabrian-Americans in the famed Lost Battalion, men who had two periods of service during the war, men who were prisoners of war, and a father and son who served during the war. We also read about deserters and delinquents, trench mortar units, and butchery and bakery units. This book is wonderfully illustrated with photographs of many of the men and some of the documents associated with their service.
