Re: digging along the WW1 Italian front line
hi! the correct spelling actually is ASIAGO. well, most of the finds come from Monte Grappa , see Monte Grappa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaby jayh
carnia, see Carnia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and the Dolomites , see Dolomites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I tend not to dig on the Asiago plateau as digging there is forbidden by some communal laws.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

standard Italian infantryman Adrian helmet piping out at me
1915-17 front line
Re: digging along the WW1 Italian front line
Looks in good condition too - Adrians do not take kindly to being exposed to the elements - I have found a couple, but never even worth picking up!

Awesome finds! I'd like to see some of the helmets or bayonets cleaned up.
