With three Silver Medals of Military Valor the battalion was the most decorated Bersaglieri unit of the war.

For the conquest of Height 85 the IV and XI Bersaglieri cyclists battalions were both awarded a Silver Medal of Military Valor.

On 14 September 1916 the two battalions attacked and by evening succeeded to take and hold the height against repeated Austro-Hungarian counterattacks.

The XI Bersaglieri Cyclists Battalion had to be pulled out of the front again as it had lost 16 officers and 320 troops in the preceding three days.

For the conquest of the Height 144 the III and XI Bersaglieri cyclists battalions were both awarded a Silver Medal of Military Valor.

During the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo in August and September 1917 the battalion was at Pieve Tesino, where it was only lightly engaged.

In the Battle of Vittorio Veneto the battalion has initially held in reserve, but once Italian troops had forced the Piave river at Ponte della Priula the battalion crossed the river on 29 October 1918 and commenced the pursuit of the retreating Austrians.

On 30 October the battalion departed from Susegana, passed Santa Maria di Feletto and Corbanese, and then clashed with an Austro-Hungarian rearguard at Revine Lago.

On 4 November, the day the Armistice of Villa Giusti came into force, the battalion had reached Selva di Cadore.

The three silver medals the battalion had earned during the war were affixed to the flag of the 11th Bersaglieri Regiment.

The battalion was named for the island of Caprera, where the regiment's namesake Giuseppe Garibaldi had spent the last years of his life.

The gold medal was also added to the coat of arms that was issued to the 11th Bersaglieri Battalion "Caprera".

As part of the reform the battalion moved from Sacile to Orcenico Superiore and joined the 8th Mechanized Brigade "Garibaldi".

The Bronze Medal of Army Valor, which had been awarded to the battalion in 1976 was also affixed to the 7th Bersaglieri Regiment's flag.
