After three days of artillery training, during which Italian batteries fired over a million artillery shells (without being able to destroy at least enemy wire barriers), 19 Italian divisions attacked 9 Austro-Hungarian divisions, first in the direction of Gorizia (Gorizia), then along the entire length of the front. . The fighting, during which they made only small territorial gains, ended in bad weather. The Italians lost 60,000 men in them, the Austrians 42,000 ...

From the witness's memories:

... If Italy, with the help of the Agreement, had taken it seriously, it could, with a little courage and readiness, take up the entire Gorica Basin in a matter of days. Then Doberdo wouldn't last either, and the war might have turned out differently: they didn't have to lose so many people to Monte Santa, Calvary, and Doberda. We later came to the conclusion that the Italians are cowards who are not worth believing, but nevertheless we were ready to go into captivity during each offensive. But it was hard. After artillery training, which lasted several days, they launched an attack and always flocked in one stream like rabbits, led by officers. As soon as they fell - and it was always early, because they were very attacked and conspicuous - the whole team dropped their rifles, pulled out their white handkerchiefs and ran into captivity. That was in every attack. Because we had the same intention, it was annoying. Usually each of us had everything ready in the bread box, ie cans, linen, cups, spoons and bread, patrons only at the waist in bags. Then it gave us a lot of searching again, when it escaped us with a run, because it was not a small thing. The devil took them ...
