As we came down, lorry loads of Italian troops passed us going up, Alpini, Bersaglieri, Arditi and men of the 152nd Infantry Regiment. They cheered us wildly as they passed, waving their caps and crying, "Avanti! Avanti! Viva l'Inghilterra! Viva gli Alleati!"
The sacrifices which we are making together, the mingling of our blood upon the battlefield, will render even stronger the agelong, traditional friendship between our two nations. "Viva l'Inghilterra! Viva l'Italia!" During my first month in Italy I lived a nomadic life. I was only "attached" to a Battery, and really nobody's child.
This gentleman, who before he went gave us his card, immediately opened up conversation both with us and with our neighbours, addressing his remarks alternately and impartially to each. He said he was an Italian who had the profoundest admiration for England. I said at once "Lei non puo amare l'Inghilterra piu che io amo ed ammiro l'Italia."
