enemy are by far the greater.
The battle which had been gradual

was struck at Monte Pertica. Perti

has been seen before.
But the enemy's greatest blow was
aimed at the stategic key of Monte

the full force of two divisions, one
Qerman, the other Austrian, was hurl

right wing in an effort to turn the
wing and cut off the army from its
