Gentlemen,
To aid in my current project would anyone have the organisation detail of the italian Colonial Cavalry unit, the Penne Di Falco force i.e. Eritrean mounted troops?
If able, I’m looking at specific positions of command and named titles but any info would certainly be appreciated, preferably form the squadron level down to the individual troop.
Hope the brains trust can track this one down.
Happy W
PS Does anyone do a good Eritrean mounted cavalry figure circa 1935?…or a type that could be converted?
edit -
What I have found is a cavalry squadron composed of; a command HQ, four troops and a mule train, totalling 110 men.
Assuming a HQ of two officers, four Troop HQs of two officers and a trumpeter. This leaves 4 Troops with 96 men i.e. 24 mounted askaris per troop (96/4=24). This would give three squads of one Corporal and 7 men per squad....
...does that sound close to anything anyone can find?
