Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 108th Artillery Regiment "Cosseria" (Italian: 108° Reggimento Artiglieria "Cosseria") is an inactive field artillery regiment of the Italian Army, which was based in Casarsa della Delizia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Originally an artillery regiment of the Royal Italian Army, the regiment was assigned in World War II to the 5th Infantry Division "Cosseria", with which the regiment was deployed to the Eastern Front, where division and regiment were destroyed during Operation Little Saturn. The unit was reformed in 1976 and disbanded 10 years later.[2] The regimental anniversary falls, as for all Italian Army artillery regiments, on June 15, the beginning of the Second Battle of the Piave River in 1918.[2]
