- The Czechoslovak Italian Legion was a legion of Czechoslovak volunteers formed late in World War I. The first formal Czechoslovak Volunteers Group (Czech: Československý dobrovolnický sbor) was formed in Italian prisoner-of-war camps in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, near Naples and matured at Padula near Salerno. In January 1918, the headquarters of the 6th Italian Army finally agreed to form reconnaissance squadrons from Czechoslovak and Southern Slav volunteers. In September 1918, the 39th Regiment of the Czechoslovak Italian Legion was formed from those volunteer reconnaissance squadrons. The following regiments of Czechoslovak Italian Legion were formed in April and May 1918:
* 31st Regiment in Perugia (Col. Ciaffi)
* 32nd Regiment in Assisi
* 33rd Regiment in Foligno (Maj. Sagone)
* 34th Regiment in Spoleto (Col. Gambi)
* 35th Regiment was formed in October 1918 from new Czechoslovak prisoners of war in Italy The Czechoslovak Italian Legion formed two divisions: VI. Division, which included 31st, 32nd, and 35th Regiments; and VII. Division, which included 33rd, 34th, and 39th Regiments. Their total strength was around 25,000 men. The Czechoslovak Italian Legion was commanded by General Andrea Graziani and later by General Luigi Piccione. After the war, the Legion was repatriated to Czechoslovakia in 1919 and most went to Slovakia to fight in the Hungarian–Czechoslovak War. (en)
