Italian Front Hold As Piave Footholds Form
Italian and allied forces gain time and space along the Piave front despite Austrian pressure. Reports from London and Rome cite bridges across the Piave, footholds north of Zenson, and heavy losses for Austrian units while the Italian line remains stable along the Brenta. A potential Austrian counter offensive is hinted in western Lake Garda areas as heavy bombardment continues in the Somme region.
