I thought that referred to the French not Italians. "Dropped once but never fired"
During WWI the French Fighting men acquitted themselves extremely well. The bulk of the Fighting and Dying on the Western Front was paid in French blood. WWII, were very different.
Look at the Italian adventures in Africa, from the 20's all the way thought WWII. They turned in some real miserable performances against some real backwater countries, which is why it's also applied to the Italian's as well.
