I, Andrea Gascone, mayor and official of the Piverone, having received notice from the Minister of War with a notation of December 31, 1918… a copy of the atto di morte of the soldier Abramo Negri, son of Luigi (Negri) I transcribed the same in the civil register

Dear bbivona,
I was looking for Abramo's birth record translation today and discovered I had sent for a translation of his death record too. I very much need to slow down even if I am excited to learn all these things about my relatives that I did not even know before my search. I am getting so far ahead of myself that I am finding I am not thanking a few for what they have done for me. My sincerest apology. I am very grateful to you for this translation. He must have been in pain to suffer trauma to the vertebrae and I hope they kept him comfortable.
I am thankful to know where he is buried. Thank you for all you do for me.

I do have a question that you may be able to answer and that is: Did the Italian military have a draft or did people volunteer?
Best Regards,
Jefferie (jrbak)
