Sirens to Mark 90th Anniversary of Isonzo Ceasefire

Bovec, 23 June - Precisely at 10 AM on Saturday, the valley of Soca will be shaken by the sounds of sirens and then submerged back into silence to mark the 90th anniversary of the ceasefire at the Isonzo front. The battles in this mountainous region were among the fiercest in WWI, and have, according to some historians, claimed more than 300,000 lives.
