Poor Italians Tend
Grave Of u. ). Soldier
Who Died Hating Them
BY KENNETH L. DIXON.

Associated Press War correspondent.
WITH THE AEF IN ITALY, May
4 (Delaye0 High in the noun
tains overlooking the sea from
Italy's southwestern coast an Amer
lean soldier lies buried and the
people from the village of Ravello
keep his grave beautiful with flow
ers.
No matter how hard-boiled you
are about the people who fostered
the growth of Fascism, you find
yourself touched by their con-
slant gesture.
''We are poor people" they tell
you, and there is pride in the
talk of the mountain people which
is missing in the flatlands farther
up Italy.
1--WE are poor people and we didn't
think we could fight the Fascist;
perhaps it would have been better
If we had. We didn't know"
Story of the Soldier.
And whether you believe them or
not this is the story of the soldier:
He was among the handful of
men who took the area around Ra-
vello. Despite the fact that it was
the Kings home there was little
fighting, comparatively speaking, in
this sector in those early days of
the Italian campaign.
But five Germans dug themselves
in on peak just above Ravello and
both Americans and British had to
fight their way up the slopes from
two sides to oust them.
In the brief battle the Yank was
mortally wounded. Two comrades
made a sling of their belts and
carried him down the hill, half
sitting between them.
Before they reached the bottom
italian runners ahead had spread
the word and the mountain climbers
and villagers of Ravello wanted to
show their friendliness for the for
eigners who had come to liberate
them from Nazism and Fascism-so
tl1Cy say 4IOW, az lcdoe.
They Brought Food.
They brought oranges and apples,
all kinds of fruit and food, and
some of their offerings of food and
medical supplies were made with
things almost impossible to get.
When his comrades laid the Yank
down to rest a moment they brought
all of these gifts to him.
And Ravello will always remember
how the dying man looked at them
in hate and refused their offerings
The tongue was foreign, but the
tone was international.
"He said he wanted nothing from
us" they tell you. ''He said the
whole war was our fault. That we
started it; that we started Fascism
and that we were responsible for
his being here and dying here for
he knew he wouldn't live. He told

us to take our things and get away,
that he hated the lot of us. -" >"
So they did, and the Yank died
and Ravello helped bury him. And
after his comrades had gone on the
people of Ravello did a lot of think
ing about him. They brought
flowers and prettied up his grave as
much as possible and they kept it
that way ever since.
They tell you how badly they feel
for his family that he should die
on foreign land They tell you
how much they wish he could have
understood that they did not start
Fascism but merely felt forced to
put up with it because they were
poor and the Fascists were rich and
powerful
AND listening to them you're
touched-but you'd be more touched
if you could forget all those thou
sands of graves on up through Italy.
