La fulminea arditissima avanzata del XXIX corpo d'armata su trento sbarrando le vie della ritirata alle armate nemiche del trentino travolte ad occidente dalle truppe della uii armata e ad oriente da quelle della i vi e iv armata ha determinato ieri lo spacelo totale del fronte avversario.

L'esercito austro-ungarico e annientato esso ha subito perdite gravissime nell'accanita resistenza dei primi giorni di lotta e nell'inseguimento ha perduto quantita ingentissime di materiale di ogni sorta e pressoche per intero i suoi magazzini ed i depositi ha lasciato finora nelle nostre mani circa trecentomila prigionieri con interi stati maggiori e non meno di cinquemila cannoni. I resti di quello che fu uno dei piu potenti eserciti del mondo risalgono in disordine e senza speranza le valli che avevano disceso con orgocliosa sicurezza.

2. The Memorial along the street in front of the Catacombs of Saint Sebastian
The war against Austria-Hungary which, under the high leadership of His Majesty the Supreme King, the Italian army, inferior in number and means, began on the 24th of May 1915 and with unshakable faith and tenacious valor was conducted uninterruptedly and bitterly for forty-one months and won.
The gigantic battle which took place on the 26th of last October and in which fifty-five Italian, three British, two French, one Czech-Slovak and one American regiment took part against seventy-three Austro-Hungarian divisions, is over.
The lightning-fast and daring advance of the XXIX Army Corps on Trento, blocking the routes of retreat to the enemy armies of Trentino, overwhelmed in the west by the troops of the Second Army and in the east by those of the Sixth and Fourth Armies, determined yesterday the total space of the opposing front.
From the brenta to the tower the irresistible momentum of the XII, VIII, X armies and the cavalry divisions pushes the fleeing enemy further and further back.
In the plain, HRH The Duke of Aosta advances rapidly at the head of his undefeated Third Army, yearning to return to the positions it had gloriously conquered and had never lost.
The Austro-Hungarian army was annihilated and suffered very serious losses in the fierce resistance of the first days of
