 Enviar a email | The Piave Front 1917 -1918 en General |  Por Pte Harry Lamin
el 20-Sep-2009 |
This was a real anti-climax after the Asiago Plateau. There was no sign of the events of 90 years ago. Harry spent some time on the Piave front at the end of 1917 and in 1918 but all that is left is the river - and that with a much reduced flow. The only evidence of trenches are reconstructed ones that have been used in re-enactments.
Harry's battalion crossed the Piave where the main Autoroute from the North to Venice crosses the river there now.
In the battle of Veneto Vittoria at the end of October, the trench warfare gave way to a very mobile battle as the Austro-Hungarian army was forced back. Harry would have marched and fought across the plain. It was possible to identify locations where they stopped for the night outside Cimetta and Sacile, but there was no sign of it on the ground.
All I could gain was the impression that I was somewhere close to where my grandfather was fighting 90 years ago.

| The Piave River Italy - Military reenactment | | Rocco, a reader from Italy has just sent a link to a set of photographs of a reenactment of the crossing of the Piave in October 1918.It may be of interest to readers. there are some good shots of the topography.I had heard that the York & Lancaster Regiment reenactment Society were to be represented, so the British soldiers that can be seen may be them. (Although I thought that the leather waistcoats were of Royal Artillery issue.)The event took place on 25th October.

| At the front | | Two letters written on the same day with a slightly different emphasis.
June 2/6/1917Dear JackVery pleased to receive a letter from you and to hear you are going on all right. We have had a very rough time lately the Germans were only about 40yds away from us, we had a very trying time for the first, but I don?t care so long that I keep alright. It will be a good job when the war is over. Ethel [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 28-Jul-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en artistas

| The Front Line | | It can be seen from the Battalion's War Diary that today, 29th September 1917, Harry's platoon moves to the front line, relieving the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, completing the move at about 10 P.M.
Even after reading the letters many times and working on this material for months, I get an involuntary shiver when I think of Harry in these situations. I hope that the reader can share a [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 29-Sep-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en artistas

| Back in the front Line | | I have today received the latest posting of the Battalion's War Diary. As could probably be predicted from the recent patrols, Harry is now back in the front line.
This section of the War Dairy is extremely difficult to decipher, but I will do my best to update the blog of the War Diaries as the entries occur.
For those that haven't followed the War Diary, Harry's Battalion made it to the [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 07-Jan-2008 por Pte Harry Lamin en artistas

| Maps of the Italian Front | | A retired Officer from the Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding), Jono Wood, has worked with The War Diaries and prepared some wonderful slides that give a picture of the topography of the Italian Front. Until this was produced I was working with a list of largely meaningless Italian place names.Thanks to Jono we can get a much clearer image of what Harry was encountering.

| 1st October - more front line action for Harry | | The battalion war Diary for today, 1st October 1917 makes for more chilling reading.
The trenches were bombarded at 5 a.m. and again at 12.30 p.m. All day aeroplanes fired on the trenches and at 6.30 p.m. another bombardment started. At 7 p.m. an enemy attack was imminent, prevented by an artillery barrage. "After this, the night was quiet."

| 3 days in the Front Line, Heavy Casualties | | The Batallion War Diary merely records the casualties for the three days from the 11th -14 October 1917. There is absolutely no account of any action or of the events of those days.
The casualties were heavy. Around 10%of the notional strength were killed or wounded - over 4 times the losses of the 30th September - 1st October when the War Diary gave a relatively detailed account of the action. [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 15-Oct-2007 por Pte Harry Lamin en artistas
