Divisions which had passed the Piave were decimated by our artillery and infantry, “Montello was attacked in three columns Enemy lines were broken at Cella Detla Madonna and Nervesa and reoccupied fron: Maserada to Sardona. The Austrians first resisted our attacks des- perately, but finally were forced to retreat to the left bank. Battle continues fiergely in the Sardona sector.
