It ‘was forced to stop and give up the attack before getting in contact with our line. “The Ilatter, coneisting of a whole division of German troops, preceded by assault detachments made a di- rect and decided thrust against Mon- te Bolarolo and thé nortkern slopes at the head of the Calcino valley. Our troops put up a most stubborn resistance and the enemy, after a desperute struggle, being badly cut up by our firc and worn out by our counter attacks, was obliged to sus- pend aguon and return to his own lines. We captured prisoners and some machine guns. “In the Col Della Beretta region a thrust on the part of the enemy in- fantry was crushed promptly by our fire. On the remalnder of the front the fighting activity was very mod- erate.” London Statement.
