Introduction
In the center of the Austrian Fourth Army lay Svetozar Boroević’s VI Corps. A commoner, a Croatian Serb and an Orthodox Christian in a Catholic army, the son of a Grenzer sergeant had risen through the ranks due to sheer force of will. He now informed his troops that “the primary and most authoritative condition for success is iron discipline.” When their junior officers signaled for an attack, the Ukrainians, Magyars and Romanians of 85th “Gaudernak” Infantry Regiment surged forward with enthusiastic shouts.

Conclusion
The 85th Infantry Regiment attacked in two battalion columns, with bayonets fixed and their colors unfurled, and without artillery support. The troops made it to the crest of the hill, ejecting the Russians in an hour of intense hand-to-hand fighting while capturing 250 prisoners and six machine guns. The 85th Infantry went up the nameless hill with 3,000 men, and left behind more than 450 dead and 800 wounded.
