Cook Guido Banchieri born in Chiesina Uzzanese, Italy in 1895 was the son of Eugenio and Zelinda (Magrini) Banchieri. Chiesina Uzzanese is in north central Italy about 24 mile east northeast of Pisa and about 35 miles west northwest of Florence.
Guido arrived at the port of New York from Le Havre, France on 5 Oct 1913 aboard the S.S. La Lorraine.
Guidos next of kin was his older sister Columba Giuntoli (b. 1893) at 1109 Locust Street in Pittsburgh. Columba Banchieri arrived 29 Jan 1911 and married her fiancé Guido Giuntoli three days later on 1 Feb 1911.
Guido enlisted 2 Jul 1917 and was assigned to the Headquarters Company of the 56th Pennsylvania National Guard which became the 56th Infantry Brigade assigned to the 28th US Division. He served overseas from 5 May 1918 until his death on 18 Sep 1918.
The 56th Infantry Brigade was formed in September 1917 as part of the 28th Division. The brigade initially included the 111th and 112th Infantry Regiments. By May 1918 the division had arrived in Europe, and began training with the British. On 14 July, ahead of an expected German offensive, the division was moving forward, with most of it committed to the second line of defense south of the Marne River and east of Château-Thierry. As the division took up defensive positions, the Germans commenced their attack, which became the Battle of Chateau-Thierry, with a fierce artillery bombardment. When the German assault collided with the main force of the 28th, the fighting became bitter hand-to-hand combat. The 28th repelled the German forces and decisively defeated their enemy. However, four isolated companies of the 109th and 110th Infantry stationed on the first defensive line suffered heavy losses.
Since Guido is buried at Suresnes, on the west side Paris, it is likely that he was wounded and taken to the hospital in Paris where he died on 18 Sep 1918. His Pennsylvania service file says he died on 18 Sep 1918 of wounds received in action.
