Captain doctor Bruno Falcomatà
Gold medal for military valor for the official medical memory of eminent qualities, he combined the excellence of the mind successfully dedicated to scientific investigations, firmness of character, generosity of purpose, spirit of unlimited sacrifice and unconditional dedication to the homeland.
Head of health service of the assault vehicles of the Royal Navy, he brought without rest and with his own physical challenge, a precious scientific contribution to the difficult, dangerous and long preparation of personnel.
In an attempt to force one of the most powerful and best defended enemy naval bases he asked, and was able to get beyond his duty, to follow the men and assist them until the moment of the launch which took place a few meters from the obstructions of the stronghold. Perceiving the desperate and uncertain struggle faced by the operators, together with the other officers, he did not want to abandon his men, waiting on the launch point for many hours for the established time.
In an attempt to disengage, the unit was deeply attacked by numerous aircraft; reached at the end of a desperate skirmish by volleys of automatic weapons, he fell alongside the other comrades in arms in the place he had kept beyond duty.
