DeGol’s military service was exemplary. A specialist in laying wire for communications during battle, he was in the army for five years and spent much of his time on the front lines. He spent almost six months straight in a fox hall. He witnessed his buddy killed by enemy mortar.
DeGol shared many of his war experiences with his children only in the last decade of his life.
Like all veterans, he saw the worst life had to offer. He saw scores of men killed, piled high on trucks for mass burials. He saw a barrage of bullets from enemy fire whiz by him. He saw nearby buildings crushed within an instance from exploding mortar shells and German grenades. He saw war refugees, many of them Germans, scrounging for crumbs to avoid starvation.
As he said to his son Bruno Jr., “I gave five years to the army.”
We are in debt to Bruno DeGol’s and to all Italian American veterans.
