"The third battle of the Isonzo may bo considered as having virtually terminated ter-minated which means it was lost by the Italians. They fought bravely at times, especially in .their vain at? tempts to capture the bridgehead at Gorizia. The Italian infantry used 34 centimeter shells for the first time. Generally speaking their artillery did good work as was demonstrated by the series of holes made before our front by their shells "While the bombardment was on the Austro-Hungarlan troops did not move from their positions. When the artillery ceased firing, the Italian soldiers who have been told that the Austrian and Hungarian soldiers had been killed, advanced to within a small distance of our positions. Then we opened fire. Not one Italian reached our main trenches who did not fall or retreat."
