suanj,
I can't find him either. Perhaps he went back and fought with the Italian army (& with his brother) Another search could be done for his WWI Card in the US if we knew his birth date.

Thank-you for finding the correct manifest. I have tried to locate him in the US military data base with no luck. There was a fire at the records depository in 1973 and all army records of personnel from 1912 to 1960 for letters A thru H were lost and no copies available.

It is true that there was a fire that destroyed the military recprds through 1960 but, when I wrote for information on my uncle they did locate a pay voucher when he mustered out of the service after WW II. It had quite a bit of information on it about him. If you haven't written I would suggest you do so. As long as you have a birth date, service number or some other identifiable information it would help in their search. You may get lucky. You never know what may be available for that person.

I have found a picture of my uncles Antonio and Nicola. I am attaching it.. Antonio was a carabinieri and I assume he died in the Battle of Caporetto between Oct and Nov 1917. I can not find any information on the uniform that Nicola is waring. There is a 91 on the hat. The only US regement from ww1 with a 91 came from the west coast and my uncle lived in NYC. Anyone have any ideas
