-
He had two cows pulling the wagon, and we started to head uphill.
-
As we reached the road, the Germans who were involved in the roundup in Baiso started shooting at us.
-
There were bullets flying all around us.
-
The farmer took off the piece of wood that held the wagon and left it on the ground, running away with the cows.
-
We were left there with this man with a bullet in his knee, who later told us he was screaming because of the pain he felt.
-
We waited there and somebody came looking for us in the evening.
-
I can’t remember well, but I think we went to sleep in the ditch until somebody came to bring us back.
-
That was the only wounded man we found.
-
The two other wounded were two of our leaders, Captain Ulisse and Gordon.
-
Acts of sabotage on the railway
-
Gordon was in charge of organizing things.
-
They had captured a German,
-
so he told us we had to go and attack the train that took ammunition to the front line.
-
We decided to go and left with two big bombs and a donkey, heading to Baiso.
-
The donkey was really slow, so by the time we got there we had already walked for seven or eight hours.
-
There was also this boy with us who was from Baiso, his name was Barozzi, who died very young.
-
I guess Gordon told him that it would have been impossible to carry weapons and ammunition far away,
-
so they went to a garage and they gave us a “millecento” car.
-
They worked day and night to get the car ready and only left the following day,
-
while I had to leave before, by foot. They arrived the day after.
