War in the Alps, WW1

[Bruce_in_Oz]

Not long back from the Italian-Slovenian border / Dolomites, (among a few other regional attractions)

Good little intro here.

Of course, we were there in summer; and nobody appeared to be trying to kill us, much to the relief of us sub-tropical folk from Queensland.

In the film Dan Snow talks about the Italians building cable-ways, a bit like rudimentary ski-lifts. Building it in summer with nobody trying to kill you would have been interesting enough.

Our little tour took us to the remains of one of the motor / windlass "houses"Attachment 96299, a robust-looking structure, now under "new occupation".
