19 Sep

Speaker will be Richard Whitfield a WFA member from our neighbouring branch in Northumberland.

 

It is May 15-June 10, 1916, the Austrians mount the Trentino Offensive—also called the “Operation Punishment” intended to avenge the Italians' betrayal. The mountain attack rocks the Italians back some 12 miles before they halt the Austrians at Monte Pasubio, where the two armies are stalemated on adjoining peaks.
