18 August-12 September 1917: The Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo—The Italians jumped the river at several bridgeheads & advanced across the Banjšice Plateau, but could not crack the impregnable fortress of Mount Saint Gabriel, capturing & then losing the summit nine times; the Austro-Hungarians were spent, but the Italians could not muster the men & matériel to strike one last, decisive blow.
Lest we forget.
