https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorlice–Tarnów_offensive One of the biggest clashes of the war, totally subdued by Verdun or Somme and unknown in the West.
I live in Tarnów, mentioned in the name of the offensive. The woods still cover trenches, and there are hundreds of tiny WWI cemeteries, built during the Great War by Austro-Hungarian gov`t. There are AH, German and Russian soldiers buried there together, united in the eternal peace. Rare example of humanity during that cruel war.

Overlooked is very much accurate and incidentally I was talking the terrible battle mentioned above with a friend lately. This one shattered the Austrian army.

In terms of forces and casualties it was equally, or worse than Verdun or the Somme, the former is known to near every French and Germans and the later more mentioned by Anzac, or British forces because of their huge involvement.

Many famous WWI, WWII, and Napoleonic battle locations actually have much older military histories that are often overlooked. Places with strategic importance, such as borders, rivers, and mountain passes, were repeatedly used in different conflicts throughout history. Some smaller battles may have been forgotten because they did not change the outcome of major wars, but they still played an important role in understanding how warfare and tactics evolved over time.
