Military Record- Bersaglieri

garyyarg · Post by **garyyarg** » 12 Apr 2004, 18:20

Camillo Pulcini from Ascoli-Piceno served as an officer in the Bersaglieri division. He was born in 1880 and migrated to the USA in 1901. How would I go about acquiring his military records?

Thanks. I have written to the archives for information and received acknowledgment, but no substantive reply yet.

Why not send an e-mail archivioap@libero.it to the Director Carolina Ciaffardini Ciarrocchi and ask her to intervene in your behalf should a prompt response not be forthcoming from Ascoli Piceno. Peter

With very helpful assistance by a member of this forum whose name I won't reveal, I did send an email to the director and received an email response acknowledging the receipt of my request. It is my understanding that the request will be researched and I will be informed as to whether or not anything was found, and apprised of the cost to acquire the findings if any. I appreciate your suggestion, and it is precisely what was done through the efforts of a member who is Italian. I am an American with limited language skills and found the assistance very generous and helpful. I haven't revealed the name so that this person is not bombarded with requests. Thank you again for your support and concern.

How interesting that your so called Italian benefactor chooses to contact forum inquiries privately and directly because he does not want to be inundated by numerous requests. He doesn;t saound very true italian to me. Peter

Peter, I have no interest in engaging in a trivial battle with you. The person who helped me has helped numerous other people on this site. It was my choice not to publish the name and I did not ask the individual who assisted me. I can assure you this person is Italian and very knowledgeable regarding research. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you had been assisted by the indvidual as well. And, I don't know what helping has to to do with being a "true" Italian anymore than it does with being any other nationality.
I think we're through discussing this.

I agree and perhaps your benefactor will be able someday to give more of himself to the forum and helping more people instead of cherry picking. Peter
