Didn’t huge numbers of Italian troops just quit the campaign en masse towards the end?
The WW1 front line on the Tofana was completely mad. The Italians occupied a ledge beneath an overhang, with the Austrians 100m above them. The Austrians lowered men on ropes to lob grenades at the Italians, who were tunnelling beneath them #GrandeGuerra #WW1 #dolomitipic.twitter.com/j7hKMug8TE

Huge numbers surrendered during the Battle of Caporetto in late 1917, but as soon as the Austro-Hungarians pushed into Italian territory the morale and resolve of the Italians stiffened, and they defeated the Austrians a year later

Terrific photographs. I’m no historian, but I did read Mark Thompson’s ‘The White War’ a few years ago. It is, as I think you have said, a simply astonishing place to send men to fight.

Very little coverage about WWI compared to WWII and Vietnam, but I love learning about it.
