Mark,

How is your German?

There is one page on the 13 June 1918 attack (Unternehmen 'Lawine') in:

Lichem, H. von DER EINSAME KRIEG. 1981/2002, 256 pages, 24x25 cm., Athesia.

I can get you a copy of the page.


Kind regards,

Marco

See 'The Forgotten Front. The British campaign in Italy 1917-18'. George Cassar page 150

Guys
a copy of either page would be great
Thanks so much
Mark

Try "The British Army in Italy 1917-18" page 80-81 by John Wilks & Eileen Wilks, Leo Cooper 1998, ISBN 0 85052 608.6

This web site had some links to Google Earth images. The image below is one marked as Werk Tonale (Fort Tonale). Would not like to spend a winter there though.
