Bersagliere Ciclista

A similar picture of this Italian cyclist can be found in the Oprey book The Italian Army of World War I. The difference is that in this picture he chose to pose with his Carcano Model 1891 infantry rifle.

  1. My grandfather was in the Italian army special forces WW1. He had a hat with a big feather just like that. Was given honorary citizenship by the USA for his bravery in the war.
