| During the entire day the onward march continued | [11] |
| Rugged and threatening, visible for miles around, is the frowning pinnacle of bare rock known as Monte Nero | [26] |
| It meant practically scaling a cliff of rock | [38] |
| A rude altar of rough boxes was set up | [50] |
| The King appeared indefatigable and was out and about in all weathers | [62] |
| Along the big military highway constructed by Napoleon | [74] |
| As he whirled past in the big car | [88] |
| The whole region was positively alive with warlike energy | [100] |
| A very useful-looking Nordenfeldt quick-firer mounted on the fore-deck | [112] |
| Before us stretched the broad valley of the Adige | [124] |
| On one of the worst portions we passed a gang of peasant women carrying barbed wire up to the trenches | [136] |
| One would have liked to spend an indefinite time in these scenes of warlike activity | [148] |
| But nothing had stopped the rush of the Italians | [160] |
| And came up with reinforcements hurrying forward | [172] |
| The least severely wounded occupants jumped out of the wagon | [186] |
| And day by day one heard of minor successes in Trentino | [198] |
| The object of this being to hide movements of troops and convoys | [210] |
| Two infantry regiments, the 11th and 12th, forded and swam across the river | [222] |
| The soldiers round us now began to move forward, and we were practically carried up the gully with them | [234] |
| I was fortunate enough to get some interesting sketches of the cavalry crossing the river under fire | [246] |
| The only difficulty the officers experienced was in getting them to advance with caution | [258] |
| They came racing across the stretch of “No Man’s Land” | [270] |
| A grey-haired officer of medium height, whom I immediately recognized as the Generalissimo, was reading an official document | [283] |
| To advance through the jungle called for all the cool, disciplined courage of the Italian soldier | [291] |
