Sir: I always enjoy Sir Denis Brogan's articles but I

must correct two errors in this one (29 November): 1. King Enzo, who was imprisoned for many years at Bologna, was a son, not grandson, of the Emperor Frederick II; 2. Italian losses of men in the First World War were nowhere near those of Britain, the figures according to Whitaker being: Britain: Killed 812,317 Wounded 1,849,494 Italy: Killed 460,000 Wounded 947,000 W.
