A student marched in front of the Italians, then about ten carabinieri, then a few ranks of soldiers, and then the mob of Zadar.
Out of the eighty-six communes of Dalmatia, Zadar was the solitary one that was Autonomist.
They and the British surrounded Zadar, which fell after a siege of six weeks.
Yet Zadar is a dignified old place; the chief men of the town and the Italian officers did what they could to keep it so.
Having routed the enemy in Tchar and Zadar we gave him, after heroic and sanguinary battles, the biggest blow of all.
