Comments:
Tullio Micaloni was born on April 9, 1913, in Oneida, Pennsylvania, the third of six children of Luigi Micaloni and Columba Rossi, immigrants from the Val di Cembra, located in the Alto Adige region of the Tyrol in Austria. That area now belongs to Italy. On July 26, a battle was engaged to take Périers. For this purpose, a Platoon from B Company, Micaloni's Platoon, joins the D Company of the 712th Battalion to support the 359th Infantry Regiment. Periers was liberated on July 27, but the evening before, Tullio's tank struck a stack of land mines, near the Ford of Hausley Quarry.
