The [[Battle of Asiago]] (Battle of the Plateaux) was a counter-offensive launched by the Austro-Hungarians on the Italian Front in May 1916, during [[World War I]]. It was an unexpected attack that occurred near Asiago (now in northeast Italy, then on the Italian side of the border between the Kingdom of Italy and Austria-Hungary). Commemorating this battle and the fallen soldiers of [[World War I]] is the [[Asiago War Memorial]], a monument and museum that is a popular site for visitors to the area.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sacrario militare di Asiago-Leiten e museo del Sacrario|publisher=Itinerari della Grande Guerra|language=it|url=http://www.itinerarigrandeguerra.it/it/27090/Sacrario-militare-di-Asiago-Leiten-e-museo-del-Sacrario|access-date=24 April 2013}}</ref>

In a later engagement in 1918, [[Edward Brittain]], brother of [[Vera Brittain]], was killed and was buried in the Granezza British military cemetery on the plateau. In 1970 Vera's ashes were scattered on his grave.

The Barenthal, Boscon, Granezza, Magnaboschi and Cavalletto Military Cemeteries at Asiago were designed by Sir [[Robert Lorimer]] in 1920.<ref>Dictionary of Scottish Architects: Robert Lorimer</ref>
