This exhibition on Ernie Pyle is now on display in Abruzzo at the museum dedicated to this brigade until August. In the coming months, many people will have the opportunity to learn about Ernie.

We are grateful to the Italian Chapter of the 3rd Infantry Division Society, Outpost 16 who have shared with us a wonderful opportunity for people to learn about Ernie Pyle. On April 18th, the anniversary of Ernie’s death, an exhibition was held at Orsini Castle, north of Rome.

The exhibition was part of a literary event in which writers and journalists presented their latest works to the public. Dozens of Ernie’s columns were displayed in English and Italian for visitors to read.

Ernie Pyle honored many brave soldiers throughout his career, and today we remember the heroes who have fallen serving our country. A soldier he famously memorialized was Captain Waskow. Read his tribute here.
