Wrong date?[edit]

In the article, there is a reference to the battle of Asiago in 1918, but when you follow the link to the page about that battle, it is about a 1916 battle. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.165.167.85 (talk) 08:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. It seems to be the "Battle of the Piave River", which involved fighting on the Asiago plateau. I've corrected accordingly - I know I looked at both articles when writing this, so not sure how it slipped past me! Shimgray | talk | 22:47, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
