Early in the morning of 15 June the Austro-Hungarian Army made what proved to be its last attack, known to the British participants as the Battle of Asiago. The 48th (SM) Division had been particularly hard-hit by the influenza epidemic, and the attacking Austrians got through the weakly-held defences to reach &lt;a href="2nd_Gloucestershire_Rifle_Volunteers%231/5th_Gloucesters"&gt;1/5th Gloucesters'&lt;/a&gt; HQ. 1/6th Gloucesters had been waiting at Mount Serona to go into the line; the men were issued with extra ammunition and marched up to discover the situation in front. They arrived about 13.00, and joined a brigade counter-attack about 17.30. D Company only got about forward through the pine forest before being held up by machine gun fire. B Company lost touch with D, advanced against little opposition but failed to contact the unit on its other flank. After trying to turn the enemy flank they were attacked and obliged to withdraw to the line held by D Company. A and C Companies supported another inconclusive brigade counter-attack in the evening. However, next morning the brigade advanced in line at 08.30 and found the Austrian withdrawing; patrols from 1/6th Gloucesters recaptured the whole of the original front line positions. The battalion's losses were one officer and 14 other ranks killed, three officers and 39 other ranks wounded and one missing, but it captured one officer and 168 men unwounded, 30 wounded, 14 machine guns and a flamethrower.
