Historical Background:
The main objective of the 5th Indian Division was to capture first Dologorodoc fortress and then the Mount Zeban. Four battalions of the 9th Indian Brigade, 2nd Highland Light Infantry, 3/5 Mahratta, 3rd Royal Frontier Force Rgt, 2nd West Yorkshire Rgt, attacked successively "Pimple" and "Pinnacle" to get closer of the Italian fortress. An Italian counter-attack ran into the whole 9th Indian Brigade and was defeated. The West Yorkshire took advantage of this situation to capture the fortress. The day after, 16th March, Italians made several counter-attacks to recapture the fortress but all failed. Nevertheless, British troops entrenched in the fortress stayed under the fire of Italian artillery.
