Gorizia Symbol of the Italian Front's Shifting War
An Italian Army dispatch from Gorizia on December 2 describes how the city, once a forward anchor in the Italian drive toward the Isonzo, became a symbol of rapid front changes as Austro-German forces mounted a major counteroffensive. The piece details street rubble, the castle fortress, bridges and mills ruined by bombardment, the crowded citadel observation post destroyed by a shell, and the retreat looming as heavy fighting intensified across a broad front.
