Map of the Italian Front on the Isonzo river around the village of Doberdò during the autumn of 1915, depicting the defensive positions of Major General Erwin Zeidler, the V Isonzo Army under the command of General Svetozar Borojević, and the VII Corps of Grand Duke Josef Ferdinand. Austro-Hungarian units held the plateau of Doberdò from October to December 1915 and in March 1916, but Italian forces made a breakthrough along the front in August 1916, capturing the plateau and the town of Gorizia.
