Militaria 1917
Catastrophies at Coporetto and Elsewhere
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$1.10
The particularly turbulent year 1917 brings the Allies a lot of bad news. In an
offensive on the Chemin des Dames, the French suffer enormous losses. The Third
Battle of Ypres concludes with a Pyrrhic-victory for the British. And the Italian
army virtually implodes at Caporetto. In all the belligerent countries, soldiers and
civilians have had enough of this awful war, and this leads not only to mutinies
in the French army but also to a genuine revolution in Russia . . .
