off topic OLD fob watch

[Lawrie]

I found this old watch in some stuff from the swap meet a few years ago,
It has and interesting inscription on the back,
Maybe some one could decipher it for me.

Spent some time on Google Translate and came up with a possible:
To The
Ghost of Family
Soldier in the enterprise of Libya
(undeciphered)
(undeciphered) 1912

(Italy had been at war with the Ottoman Empire in 1912)

Is there any information on the make of the watch? Does it match any country in the area or conflict?

Is there an Italian on here that can translate better than Google?
I was also having trouble reading the script lettering!

Me too!! If someone could/would write that out in non script letters, I believe it could be translated into English a bit easier.
