About Samuel Gawith, Squadron Leader...
Mother: "How dare you smoke something like that?"
Me:" It's not bravery....it's just good taste and refinement!"

This photo can be summed up with few words taken from an italian poem written by Vincenzo Monti..... «Beyond the burning does not live enemy wrath».

[Simone BALLO @SimoneBALLO2]

This is a photo very dear to me. It was taken soon after the fight on Col Basson on 24 August 1915 while Padre (Feldkurat) Matthias Ortner was blessing an italian fallen.

@Emma84282431546 @militaryhistori @militaryhistori in any case Galeazzo Ciano was a controversial character....for sure he was not a decent person like his father Costanzo

[Simone BALLO @SimoneBALLO2]

@Emma84282431546 @militaryhistori @militaryhistori his father had been an Italian Royal Navy officer during the ww1 and awarded with gold medal for military valor.

I'm smoking this new purchase. It's an English Mixture and I have to say it's very good...it's not cheap actually. EMs always give great satisfaction... God bless the UK.
