More about Francesco di Tommaso Janetta/Iannetta
The following soldiers, Giuseppe Zecca, Francesco Janetta, and Marco Roncone, lost their lives but do not appear on Dundee’s Roll of Honour.
DUNDEE ITALIAN SOLDIERS KILLED. Three Italian soldiers, who were previous to being called up connected with Dundee, have been killed while fighting for their country.
Giuseppe Zecca, whose photograph is reproduced, was about 20 years of age. He was a reservist, and was called up when Italy entered the war. Zecca was employed as an assistant by D. Delnevo & Co., restaurateurs Arbroath Road.
The other two are Francesco Janetta, who had a confectioner’s business at 42 King Street, which is at present being carried on by his wife, and Marco Roncone, 23 years of age, who was employed by Anglo Janetta, confectioner, 23 Mains Road.
