Austria's Largest Offensive Yet On the Piave Front
Major General Sir Frederick Maurice reports that Austria mounted a wide assault on June Fifteen across a fifty mile front along the Piave Montello and adjacent sectors. Three Austrian armies engaged about thirty three divisions seeking to threaten Venice and Treviso. While Capo Sile and parts of the Montello saw some gains the overall effort yielded limited progress and the Italian line remains intact. The report notes German and Austrian resource strain and warns that Russia’s situation may affect allied strength.
