space_cowboy Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Why is it that on some LaScalas the network is on the left side of the mid horn, and on some the right side? I guess it really doesn't matter, was just curious. Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollar bill Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I hope this answers all your questions about General LaScala.[] Graduate of the military colleges of Naples and Turin, LaScala joined the Italian army in 1881. Commanded a regiment during the Italo-Turkish war (1911-12). In 1914 he joined with General Luigi Cadorna to help reorganise the Italian army in preparation for the First World War. After the Italian entry into the war he served as Cadorna's chief of operations. The disastrous defeat at the battle of Caporetto (24 October-12 November 1917) led to Cadorna's removal, and on 9 November 1917 LaScala was appointed chief of staff. By this time, the front was beginning to stabilize on the Piave river, where LaScala was able to reestablish a stable front line, before devoting himself to restoring the confidence of the nearly shattered Italian army, which he had done well enough to consider the launch of a new offensive in the summer of 1918. However, he soon learnt of the planned two pronged Austrian offensive, and with this advance warning was able to organize his defenses, and repel the Austrian attack (battle of Piave, 15-23 June 1918), having kept an entire army in reserve. He then delayed the Italian offensive until it was clear that the allies were winning on the Western Front. Judging the Austrian army to be close to collapse, he launched his attack along the entire front (battle of Vittorio Veneto, 24 October-3 November 1918), which did indeed cause the collapse of Austrian arms, and forced them to sign an armistice, dictated by LaScala. After the war he served Mussolini as his minister of war (1922-1924), but was forced to retire by ill health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
