Veteran Hurt in Italian Campaign Dies at Walter Reed General Hospital
--------------------------
Angelo Stallone, 91 North River Street, died last night in Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, of back injuries suffered while serving with the Third Division in Italy during World War 2.
Stallone had been treated at the Walter Reed Hospital at various times since his discharge from the service, but returned there about two weeks ago for treatment.
Stallone entered the service in May, 1943, and received his basic training at Fort McClellan, Ala., and Camp Meade, Md. He was sent overseas in December, 1943, and was in action at Anzio for several months. His battalion was among the first to enter Rome and received the Presidential Citation for meritorious action in several campaigns. While the Third Army was proceeding north of Rome, Stallone became ill and he was flown by Army transport to Walter Reed Hospital. He remained there for several months, receiving the treatment of Army specialists.
Physicians and surgeons at Walter Reed Hospital marveled at the stamina shown by Stallone and his ability to fight the disease he knew he had. His condition, to the surprise of many medical observors, showed improvement and he was permitted to leave Walter Reed Hospital.
From time to time he returned to Walter Reed Hospital for observation and treatment.
During the last several months he was employed by the U. S. Department of Commerce taking the business census in the Wilkes-Barre Area.
Stallone and Miss Mary McGourty of 43 Madison Street were married June 11 in St. John's Roman Catholic Church, North Main Street.
Surviving are his wife, his father, James Stallone, and these brothers and sisters: Mrs. Tobias Chieffi, Swoyerville; John, Newark; Anthony, printer for the Wilkes-Barre Record; Mrs. Joseph Caffrey and Charles, all of Wilkes-Barre.
