SOLDIERS TUNNELING INTO A MOUNTAIN F rX5? I ii Iv,!?- n ? " & t-JLJj J I V ? t "r"r x ?f a l !w3 A 1 : This photograph gives one a vivid idea of how for live months the Italians commanded by the younger Garibaldi, of the Alpini command, tunneled into three sides of the Col di Lana in the Dolomite Alps and blew the summit of the mountain, garrisoned by Austrian Jaegers, completely off with tons of powerful explosives. Like the Italians, the British soldiers seen here, are tunneling tun-neling their way into a mountain "somewhere in the fighting zone." Note the heavy steel girders used In supporting the overhead weight.
