Italy - Photograph from the battlefield, in 1915

On 3 October 1915, at the height of World War I, Fr Silvio Porrini, SDB, sent a message of greeting to the superiors; in the bottom of the picture, in which the priest appears with some soldiers around an image of Mary Help of Christians, is written, "From the front line, I send my respectful greetings, asking you to bless me and my regiment."
