Enrico Garbuglia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enrico Garbuglia (March 30, 1900 – June 2, 2007) was one of the last five remaining known Italian veterans of the First World War living in Italy (two others live in France). Called up to serve in June 1918 near the end of the war, his service was less than six months, and so he was not on the official list of Cavalieri di Vittorio Veneto. It far exceeds, however, the short service times of several American WWI veterans, such as Harold Gardner for example.
Garbuglia was one of the last known WWI veterans to be discovered (along with William Seegers of the U.S., Raymond Cambefort of France and Yakup Satar of Turkey). His existence was confirmed on May 28, 2007, but he died just five days later.
