Chiedi ellegrino
Quanti uomini quante baldanze della Forte Gagliarda Marca Trevigiana s'infransero e furono del 55 di fanteria gli ufficiali e i fanti vi riconsacrano eroi
Nel settimo anniversario 27 agosto 1922
From Monte Piana to Valle dei Castrati where the bitter disputes were decided
Ask pilgrim,
How many men, how much audacity was shown by those from Fort Gagliarda in the Marca Trevigiana
They broke down and were from the 55th Infantry
The officers and infantrymen they rededicate you as heroes
On the seventh anniversary, August 27, 1922
Erected 1922.
