Frontline dispatches said the
attack did not constitute a large

described it as aiming at "lim

. However, it was the allies' big
gest offensive gesture since bad
weather settled over the Italian
front last October. The heaviest
artillery bombardment of
months preceded the drive,
which was supported by tanks.
Some 15,000 rounds of ammuni

Numerous casualties were re
