My grandmother - motherside - walked 20 miles, 8 months pregnant with my uncle, through the middle of the WWI on Soca front from Gorica home to Ajdovscina. Whatever the name, "it" made her do it.

EMINGWAY, ERNEST (1898-1961)
Isonzo Front
From 1915 when the Isonzo Front was opened up until the end of the battle in 1917 by when over a million people had been killed or driven away and the Italians had suffered a temporary defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire a temporary victory. Over 600.000 soldiers fought on the Isonzo Front. In the twelfth and final Isonzo battle alone, the decisive struggle in which fortunes turned to the advantage of the Austrians (giving the battle the name Miracle of Kobarid), the Italians left behind 100,000 dead. Some 350,000 soldiers and 450,000 civilians had to flee. With the help of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, the Austrians drove the Italians far back into Friuli ... but only so that the following year they would return and rule over Slovenia's Soèa region for the next twenty-five years.

Kobarid, a small town by the river Soèa is famous for its museum of World War I, that was proclaimed European Museum of 1993 by the Council of Europe. It leads us through the various phases of the Soèa hell. There you can find a small table with a visitors' book, a United States flag and a large picture of Ernest Hemingway.
