Heading off to war accompanied by the spirits of soldiers pa

In 1915, Italy was persuded to join the allied cause against the German Empire and Austria-Hungary and made some unsuccessful attempts to invade across the border in June 1915. This patriotic card likely pre-dates this campaign, gathering support for the forthcoming war effort, showing a patriotic representation of Italy trampling the Austrian border post and brave Italian soldiers riding into war spurred on by the spirits of Italian heroes of the past, including Garibaldi. Date: circa early 1915
