“Today’s one is about the death of Bruno Garibaldi, son of Riciotti and grandson of the great Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi. Bruno Garibaldi was probably born in 1892 (the birth year is unsure). He was a student in Canterbury and then worked in Cuba. He came back to Europe to fight against Germany, and was a volunteer with his brother Costante in the Garibaldi Legion, which was a part of the 4th régiment de marche of the 1st regiment of the famous Légion Etrangère.” (The death of Bruno Garibaldi, Some WW1 Photographs…)
