Golden Medal to the Military Valour
Decree of 31^st December 1947

As a powerful instrument of war it started its dedication, sacrifice and victory. Moments of conquest and glory, struggles of battleships against battleships. Bir El Gobi, Sidi Rezegh; demolished strongholds, quota 204 of Ain El-Gazala, El Duba, Bir Hacheim, Dahar El-Aslagh; anxiety of pursuing the enemy, defeated on our territory while it was retreating towards East, from Tobruk to El-Alamein. It always faced a combative enemy that was superior in number and strength, fighting in a difficult context; it sacrificed twice in glory. It showed tenacity and morality worthy of the heroic spirit and the thousand-year-old traditions of the Italian Army. (Bir El-Gobi, 18^th November 1941 – El-Alamein, 3^rd July 1942.
