Siting their guns in the apertures of dark caverns, each decimated their enemy, and lost and regained positions by using barrels of dynamite and gelignite to dislodge the other. Avalanches ripped through friend and foe alike. Austrian and German soldiers from many provinces fought valiantly side by side, forming an alpine fellowship never before experienced. This was the Dolomite War, and Robin brought it to life not only with excellent slides from the era, but with colour photographs taken in situ during his mountaineering ventures with his family, showing the awesome majesty of the Dolomite mountain range, where much of the trenches, tunnels, fortresses, block-houses and gun positions still remain today as a unique and lasting memorial to those who sacrificed their lives for their countries. Maj Anthony Gordon thanked Robin for his expert handling of the subject and a presentation well done.
