A Ceremony to Remember

27th Public Affairs Detachment

Runners, military officials, and city officials of Torbole gather at the Col. William O. Darby and 10th Mountain Soldiers memorials to hold a solemn ceremony and wreath laying following the Col. Darby 40-Miler Ranger Challenge at Torbole, Italy, April 30, 2025. Darby was killed by enemy artillery just hours before 25 of his Soldiers lost their lives when their DUKW (Army amphibious vehicle) sank while crossing the lake, and the ceremony occurs annually to pay tribute to the Soldiers who died during World War II, ensuring those who have fallen are remembered.
