The Italians, reinforced, struggled to take that Southern most town. The British put up a temporary defensive line which was expected to hold for most of the game. However, the Italians sprung a surprise and broke through early and almost took the town, being held only by the Mortar Plt for a harrowing two move ordeal, while the rest of the British scrambled like eggs to get down to the town for a quick defense. Fortunately, the British Army, showing some of that stiff upper lip got back and held the town. (Lets hear it for the sons of Wellington!)
