This article focuses on Signora Palazzi, president of "Dieci Per Uno", an Italian society where each group of ten ladies takes care of one unfortunate. The First World War had given the ladies ten thousand unfortunates. It is against the Hague Convention for prisoners to be put to work at grave-digging but the city of Genoa had offered two lire a fosse and the prisoners could thus volunteer. One incident refers to the Italian Red Cross hospital which received a convoy of Austrian wounded. The house-surgeon came and called two orderlies. The two orderlies lifted the prisoner, bore him up the steep path and disappeared into the wide door of the military hospital.
