I think you have misunderstood the wording on this it is not Army Rosary it is Rosary Army which is a Catholic organization and has nothing to do with the Army. Just like Salvation Army has nothing to do with the Army. If you Google Rosary Army you will find information on it.

Right. That pesky English language can be tricky to translate. "Rosary Army" is not the same thing as rosary of the army (rosario dell'esercito); it's "army of the rosary" (esercito del rosario). I hope this helps.

 

PS I hope I didn't butcher the native language of my grandfather too badly.
