by shell fire while close to the firing

The king, desiring to assist in the
direction of operations, was proceed

having left his automobile because OF
the lack Of a road. He rode in among
his troops, although he had been
warned that the Austrian proJect1les

AS he passed a certain point, which
now has become noted because of the
incident, a shell exploded so near to
him that splinters of shrapnel struck
and injured his horse. The kings
composure was not disturbed and
when his suite urged him to retire, he
called for another horse, exclaiming:
Here we must win or die" Then
he rode in again among the troops
who with shouts of Savoy took the
Austrian position by storm. The spot
