Ten British batteries went to Italy in the spring of 1917, and Hugh Dalton served with them. His account moves from Venice to the Isonzo front, Palmanova, Aquileia and Grado, front-line reconnaissance, an evening at Gorizia and Udine, through the retreat after Caporetto to the final campaign, as a tribute to Italian achievement.
