At Verdun, French soldiers coined the Immortal phrase "lis no passer on tie pas" "They shall not pass." They backed the slogan with heroic deeds. The Crown I'rlnceadld not pass.. At Monte Grappa, Italy's soldiers took that phrase "They shall not pass." To day they, too, have enshrined It on Italy's record of heroism. The enemy is beaten at'Moite Granna.
