It was another of the keys to the town.

It was taken on September sixth; on the next day, September seventh, the citadel surrendered.

Here, in lieu of the 42- centimeter, which was otherwise engaged for the moment, the attacking forces brought into play an Austrian battery of 30-centimeter guns.

So far as I have been able to ascertain this was the only Austrian command which had any part in the western campaigns.

The Austrian gunners shelled the fort until the German infantry had been massed in a forest to the northward.
