    lmo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Cadorna a Wikipedia page in the Milanese language/dialect -- see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milanese led me to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Cadorna "Luigi Cadorna (September 4, 1850, Verbania, Piedmont-Sardinia – December 21, 1928) was an Italian Field Marshal, most famous for being the chief of staff of the Italian army during the first part of World War I."
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    swanq: Thanks for identifying Cadorna more fully. He does appear to be the same man (though, perhaps a bit gaunter) as the one depicted in this Chicago newspaper from May 26, 1916 that I found in the Chronicling America online newspapers: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045487/1916-05-26/ed-... We'll add some information to the description when we next update.

    There's a long entry in Italian in it.wikipedia.org it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Cadorna This picture was also used in the New York Tribune of June 20, 1915, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-06-20/ed-... Also, this picture (redone as a drawing traced from the photo) is in the Washington Herald of August 8, 1915. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045433/1915-08-08/ed-... "Tall, elegant, lithe, a soldier to his fingertips, every inch a gentleman, a man of the most astounding vivacity and at the same time of the most appealing calm, the one idol of Italy and one of the most brilliant soldiers in the world --- this in a few lines is Count Luigi Cadorna, the generalissimo of the Italian armies which are endeavoring to force their way north through Austria."

Count Harrach -- Lt. Von Lobel -- Excellenz Dr. Von Sandt, Civil Governor Belgium (LOC)

  • Art Siegel said:
    Max von Sandt (1861-1918) was the head of the civil administration after Germany began its occupation there in 1914 and remained until sent to Warsaw for identical duties in July, 1917, shortly before his death. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Sandt fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_von_Sandt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Governorate_of_Belgium
  • Art Siegel said:
    Count Harrach (I haven't found a source for his full name and there were several Count Harrachs) appears in news accounts and memoirs as either the head of or aide to the head of the occupation government's political section.
    He was quoted as being part of an uncooperative group of German officials who blocked efforts to delay the execution of English nurse Edith Cavell, accused of spying in Brussels in October, 1915. He said he only regretted that he lacked "3 or 4 old english women to shoot."
    select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50E16F63B5E1173...
    In an account by the U.S. Head of Legation to Belgium, Harrach says "The life of one German soldier seems to us much more important than that of all the old English nurses. ..." and then prevents others in the room from showing sympathy when a plea for leniency is made.

    There is a memorial to her in London;
    Edith Cavell
    and her life inspired the naming of a mountain in Canada in her memory:
    Mount Edith Cavell by the sunset

Grand Duchess Eliz. Franziska & Count Geo. of Waldenburg (LOC)
