Two Vicenza-based veterans of the 10th Mountain Division recently joined Americans on a journey to this picturesque town Lake Garda’s northern shore to honor Soldiers who fought and died there in World War II.
The tour group – roughly 70 descendants of 10th Mountain Division Soldiers – visited memorials honoring Col. William Darby, who was killed by enemy fire in Torbole, and 25 10th Mountain Division Soldiers who drowned when their DUKW amphibious vehicle sank in the lake on April 30, 1945.
