English: Identifier: timeshistoryofwa10lond (find matches) across the Tseniovka valley and against the heights on its western bank. Most of the enemy batteries on the Lysonia had been silenced, and soon our Allies came to grips with the infantry. " Only now I believe," writes again the Aus- trian-Polish officer, " that there can be such a thing as a heap of corpses .... that corpses can form high, defensive walls.
