92nd Infantry Division Buffalo Soldiers Tribute Tee – Battle of Sommocolonia, Italy 1944
“Defending Allied forces in the Serchio Valley, Italy.” This all-over-print tribute tee honors the Buffalo Soldiers of the 92nd Infantry Division and the stand at Sommocolonia on December 26, 1944, when German and Italian forces launched a winter offensive into the Serchio Valley. Retro military artwork wraps the shirt with snowy Italian hills, the division banner, and a bold buffalo emblem, a wearable salute for veterans, families, and WWII history lovers.
The History Behind the Design
- The Buffalo Soldiers: The 92nd Infantry Division was the only African-American infantry division to see combat in Europe during World War II.
- Sommocolonia, Dec 26, 1944: A small group of Buffalo Soldiers and Italian partisans held the hilltop village against a much larger attacking force.
- Lt. John R. Fox: A forward observer with the 366th Infantry Regiment, attached to the 92nd, he called artillery onto his own position to slow the assault. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1997.
