    "Armando Diaz, 1st Duke of the Victory, OSSA, OSML, OMS, OCI (5 December 1861 – 28 February 1928) was an Italian general and a Marshal of Italy. He is mostly known for his role as Chief of Staff of the Regio Esercito during World War I since November 1917. He managed to stop the Austro-Hungarian advance along the Piave River in the Battle of Monte Grappa, and in June 1918 led the Italian forces to a major victory in the Battle of the Piave River. A few months later, he achieved a decisive victory in the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, which ended the war on the Italian Front. He is celebrated as one of the greatest generals of World War I." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armando_Diaz He sailed to America on the SS Giuseppi Verdi in October, 1921 to speak at the American Legion conference that year. timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1921/10/07/98750667...
