1 They were hospitals beyond the river.
2 I had been up the river to the bridgehead at Plava.
3 The attack would cross the river up above the narrow gorge and spread up the hillside.
4 The posts for the cars would have to be as near the river as they could get and keep covered.
5 Up the river the mountains had not been taken; none of the mountains beyond the river had been taken.
6 I suppose it was mutual tolerance because the Austrians still kept a bridgehead further down the river.
7 The next afternoon we heard there was to be an attack up the river that night and that we were to take four cars there.
8 In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains.
9 To the north we could look across a valley and see a forest of chestnut trees and behind it another mountain on this side of the river.
10 But the Italians had crossed and spread out a little way on the far side to hold about a mile and a half on the Austrian side of the river.
11 The division for which we worked were to attack at a place up the river and the major told me that I would see about the posts for during the attack.

15 I went along the narrow road down toward the river, left the car at the dressing station under the hill, crossed the pontoon bridge, which was protected by a shoulder of the mountain, and went through the trenches in the smashed-down town and along the edge of the slope.
16 The river ran behind us and the town had been captured very handsomely but the mountains beyond it could not be taken and I was very glad the Austrians seemed to want to come back to the town some time, if the war should end, because they did not bombard it to destroy it but only a little in a military way.
17 The mountain that was beyond the valley and the hillside where the chestnut forest grew was captured and there were victories beyond the plain on the plateau to the south and we crossed the river in August and lived in a house in Gorizia that had a fountain and many thick shady trees in a walled garden and a wistaria vine purple on the side of the house.
