    Received some flyers today for our Western Front Footsteps battlefield tour on 11-14 Sept. If you fancy coming along and visiting where your relative served and fought then here’s the website: Honestly, it’s ace! Lots of lovely testimonials say so.

    Malgré la guerre et ses ravages, la vie, toujours, reprend ses droits. Ce cliché du Circuit des Champs de Bataille est à la fois cruel et sublime (1919).

    Stupid dog’s been eating my homework again. He’s clearly not keen on early infantry infiltration tactics 🤯

    It turns out that František Janeček, founder of Jawa motorcycles and inventor of the Model 21 hand grenade, fought on the Italian Front during WW1. Does anyone know anything about his military service? ?

    Just prior to the 11th Isonzo the Italians dug a mine under Austrian positions on Monte Rosso. But the Austrian counter-mine broke into the Italian tunnel and they stole all the Italian explosives!

    Particularly challenging research today. Želim si, da bi lahko razumel slovensko 🙁

    Writing about Enrico Totti today, my favourite WW1 nutter. The one-legged cyclist tried to join the army, they didn’t want him, so he joined up unofficially and fought on the Isonzo. Mortally wounded, he threw his crutch at the enemy and cried “I do not die” before...dying.

    Any of you with an interest in WW1 who don’t already follow you should. Some very evocative imagery

    A delicate question for FWW Italian Front scholars. Various contemporary British reports say Italian army rarely dug latrines near the front line and crapped wherever they pleased. Is this true, or are the British being rude about filthy foreigners?

    Ooops! Just reading about a minor WW1 action that took place in the Upper But river valley. My advice, don’t Google the words Upper But 😳

    Struggling to comprehend the slaughter in battle for Monte San Gabriele. Thousands of (unburied) bodies, endless artillery barrages, and no progress on either side. The note is a message from Lt Fischer, written under fire from more than 1000 Italian guns. He held his position.

    Geoffrey Winthrop Young (mountaineer, poet and volunteer ambulance driver on the Isonzo) wrote a vivid description of the battle before he lost a leg to an Austrian shell. 2 months later he “walked” 16 miles in 2 days on crutches during the retreat from Caporetto.

    Writing about Monte San Gabriele and the 11th Isonzo today. 275,000 men were KSI in the battle. 7400 guns fired 8 million shells in 3 weeks. The struggle for San Gabriele saw the summit change hands 9 times. It remained unconquered.

    A search of I Fondi Fotografici del Museo Centrale del Risorgimento reveals Monte Fratta is in the neighbourhood of Bodrez (Slovenia), not far from Avče, so that’s probably it. But it shouldn’t be down to the reader to spend half an hour finding this out 🤬

    FFS! This happens all the time, and annoys the sh*t out of me! Two mountains mentioned, no map in the book, and no trace of the mountains on Google Maps. So no context for the events described. Pointless and lazy 🤬
