Filippo Ferlazzo, a soldier, son of Nicolo and Maria Bonfiglio... maybe died July 31.
I see all sorts of words and names here, probably superior officers, maybe a battle location?

I am reading death on 21 August 1915 in Bosco Cappuccio - from wounds sustained in battle. He was also buried in Bosco Cappuccio.
Age 21, son of Nicolo' Ferlazzo and of Maria Bonfiglio, married couple. He was born in Gioiosa Marea.

Nice, thanks to both of you. I didn't know what Bosco Cappuccio was, had to google it. My dad was into military history, he'd have been really interested in this. (It doesn't help that every time I see the word bosco, instead of thinking 'forest,' I think pear as there's a Bosc pear.)

Yes, found all this when I googled. Also the wikipedia in English, which refers to it by another name altogether. (Second Battle of the Isonzo.)

The YouTube songs are good to have on in the background while trawling through records!
