some more..among them a Lybian Askari ...a purposly formed sort of élite Lybian Brigade fought also in Ethiopia..those soldiers being Muslims were extremely happy to fight and giving no mercy Vs Coptic/Christian Ethiopians....i must admit not the best fairplay on the part of Italians:

Great stuff! I love all the images of the Askari. That is something that has always been of interest to me.
