			L’Associazione Nazionale Volontari di Guerra, (ANVG) is an Italian organisation of veterans founded in Rome in 1924 that unites still today  all volunteers of all wars Italy has been involved in.

 that sounds likely, served 1914-15 and joined the org. in 1924 whereupon he was awarded the item.  |
