Ricordate la battaglia di Adua (1896)? Do you remember the battle of Adwa (1896)?

2007-06-02T16:21:00.001+02:00

"Gli abissini spuntavano ormai dappertutto. Infilandosi nel fondo delle valli tortuose, aggiravano le cime, trovando d'istinto le vie da percorrere, come l'acqua di un'inondazione che approfitta di ogni vuoto per avanzare e allagare. Correndo nascosti negli anfratti cespugliosi ne uscivano all' improvviso gridando, così vicini a volte, che gli italiani non avavano il tempo di far fronte e puntare i fucili."

“The Abyssinians dulled by now everywhere. Slipping itself into the bottom of it goes them tortuose, went around the instinct tops, finding the ways to cover, like the water of a flooding that is useful for every empty in order being left over and flooding. Running hidden in cespugliosi gorges they exited some suddenly screaming, therefore near sometimes, than the Italians they did not have the time to make forehead and to aim the guns.”
