Il quotidiano Giornale d'Italia ha detto di abitudine
Della sovranità italiana, Vittorio Emanuele,
Il loro re che ha lavorato in prima linea.
L'aumento a 4:00 il re avrebbe
Lascia il suo campo da 05:00

Il re, i suoi accantonamenti presa da auto,
Assicurato ha mangiato tutti i suoi pasti vicino
Per le sue truppe - insieme ai suoi soldati
Sotto il suono di sparare pistole -
È rimasto molto calmo.

Un giorno particolare per avere la prima colazione,
Il re ha osservato una batteria in azione.
Dopo aver ammirato la cottura di un giro esatto,
Il re ha guadagnato una bottiglia di vino -
Per dare al mitragliere.

Osservazione Un soldato ha detto di loro
Freddezza del Re - quando le spie avevano
Informato cannoni austriaci del re
Presenza, ad un certo punto,
Sedici colpi sono stati sparati.

Le conchiglie sono esplose un centinaio di iarde
Vicino al re, mandato da 12 cannoni pollici.
Con calma contando tutti i round, il re
Sat con la matita, per elaborare costo
Di cercando di uccidere un uomo.

Con il loro re vicino all'azione, le truppe
Sono stati entusiasta - a fare una salita
Per essere raduno alpino Battaglione - questo re
Incontrato un sergente Bissolati - un uomo
Di politica che egli salutò.

Leonida Bissolati era unito Alpino
Reggimento a 58 - essendo un esponente
Di guerra contro l'Austria-Ungheria azioni,
Il deputato del socialismo ha dato
Onore al re.

Vittorio Emanuele ha dichiarato orgoglio onesto,
Per avere Bissolati nelle sue forze
Di Alpini - un gruppo di chi aveva coraggiosamente
Cattura Realizzato Zellenkofel
In un raid audace.

ii
Un osservatorio austriaco,
Formata sul crinale della Zellenkofel,
È stato custodito da 40 uomini, con nascosto
Batteria cento piedi sotto -
Sul versante austriaco.

La parte rocciosa a picco di fronte
L'Italia, che potrebbe essere scalato solo
Secondo la maggior parte alpinisti esperti - e
Con due luogotenenti, volontari
S'inizia a salire.

A partire dal tardo pomeriggio,
Per raggiungere vetta al sorgere della luna -
Cordata, con una mitragliatrice
Sezione provenienti scorso; tutto austriaco
La fiducia era cieco.

Nella luce della luna, la forza strisciò
A proposito del post, sparando con sorpresa
Al momento gli austriaci; per fare guadagno finale
Nell'oscurità - per portare la pila
Al punto baionetta.

Poem ~ Calmness of Italian King - Thursday, 8 July 1915



Impression sketch of The Italian King Vittorio Emanuele - by Jamie. see an original at: http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/isonzo1.htm

i
The daily Giornale d'Italia told of habit
Of Italian royalty, Vittorio Emanuele,
Their king who worked on the frontline.
Rising at 4 a.m. the king would
Leave his camp by 5 p.m.

The king, his provisions taken by car,
Ensured he ate all his meals close
To his troops  - along with his soldiers
Under the sound of firing guns -
He remained quite calm.

One particular day on having breakfast,
The king observed a battery in action.
After admiring firing of an accurate round,
The king gained a bottle of wine -
To give to the gunner.

One soldier’s observation told of their
King's coolness  - when spies had
Informed Austrian guns of the king's
Presence, at a certain point,
Sixteen rounds were fired.

The shells exploded a hundred yards
Near the king, sent by 12 inch guns.
Calmly counting all the rounds, the king
Sat with pencil, to work out cost
Of trying to kill one man.

With their king close to action, the troops
Were enthused - in making a climb
To be meet Alpine Battalion - this king
Met a Sergeant Bissolati - a man
Of politics whom he greeted.

Leonida Bissolati had joined the Alpine
Regiment at 58 - being an exponent
Of war against Austria-Hungary actions,
The deputy of Socialism gave
Honour to the king.

Vittorio Emanuele stated honest pride,
To have Bissolati in his forces
Of Alpini - a party of who had bravely
Made capture of Zellenkofel
In a daring raid.

ii
An Austrian observation post,
Formed on crest of the Zellenkofel,
Was guarded by 40 men, with hidden
Battery hundred feet below -
On the Austrian side.

The sheer rocky side faced
Italy, that could only be climbed
By most skilled mountaineers - and
With two lieutenants, volunteers
Commenced to climb.

Starting in the late afternoon,
To reach summit at rise of moon -
Roped together, with a machine gun
Section coming last; all Austrian
Confidence was blind.

In moonlight, the force crawled
About the post, firing with surprise
Upon the Austrians; to make final gain
In darkness - to take the battery
At bayonet point.

För att utgöra ett hot mot den svenska neutraliteten.

A naval encounter, involving pursuit
Of a German warship by Russian ships,
Were to cause a serious incident;
To pose a threat to Swedish neutrality.

The ship encounter drew close
To Sweden at the inlet of Oestergarn -
When a stray shell hit the water -
Some two hundred yards from shore.

The event of a naval battle took
Place on 2 July, close to the island
Of Gothland - as communicated
By the Petrograd Swedish Minister.

Speaking for Swedish government,
The minister made the highlight
To the Russian Imperial government;
The act of neutral violation.

Additionally Sweden informed Russia,
The running ashore on Gothland
Of Germany's warship, SMS Albatross
Which had been disarmed.

The German crew being interned
On Sweden's land - an official
Response came from the imperial
Government over event.

Russia gave their regret for a shell
Falling into territorial waters.
A given reason from the Baltic Fleet's
Admiral was the dense fog.

The Swedish Minister was told, how
The conditions prevented
Accurate firing - assured of their intent
In observed neutrality.
