ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
Feb. 1.-The extent of the enemy losses
IN the fighting early this week is now
known to be larger even than the first
accounts indicated. An observer who
has arrived from the field of the fight
ing reports having seen and talked
with number of the captured officers
and men as they were brought back for
interrogation. They were a miserable
looking lot, he says, many of them
wearing Italian uniforms taken during
the invasion of the Friuli region.
All the prisoners agreed as to the
furious nature of the fighting and the
exceptionally heavy losses caused bv
the concentration of the fire of the
Italian, French and British batteries.
The trenches were levelled and the
links between the forward and rear
lines swept away, thus stopping all
communications and preventing the
officers from securing coordination in
the work Of the artillery and the in
fantry.
Survivors Hysterical
The few trenches remaining were
Uttered with dead and the survivors
were found for the most part on their
knees, Historically crying or praying.
The 21st Rifle Division of the Aus
TRAN forces had 5000 men put out of
action, or about 70 per cent of ;ts
fighting force. Brigades of the 18th
and 9Th Austrian divisions had casual
ties amounting to approximately SO per
cent.
But the most terrific loss was in
ficted on the 160th Landsturm, which
of several thousand men in line has
only a few hundred left.
The magnitude Of such losses was
due to the triple artillery fire of the
Allies, maintained for forty consecu-
tive hours, often cross-hring from two
or three directions simultaneously.
An unusual feature of this artillery
action was the complete unity brought
about among the Italian, French and
British batteries. This was so marked
that one of the chiefs of the artillery
staff exclaimed: "At last we have
realized unity of command, right in
the face of the enemy fire"
Big Battery Wiped Out
AS an illustration. of the destructive
nature of the triple artillery fire it
may be recorded that an enemy bat
terry with four monster 24O-millimetre
guns was destroyed completely. The
enemy was using an old church as one
of his principal ammunition dcpots,
