      I think the Italians raised 3-4 battalions of Albanian militia and some irregulars during WW1 on the Salonika front. Irregulars, the coloured illustration from the Italian Pinterest,not sure where its originally from.

      Interesting reply Nick, would there be any photos of 1939 Khalkin Gol Mongolian era officers showing the pre 1944 (bastion/spearhead shaped) cuff insignia ? I know they had various 1-3 or4 upward pointing chevrons in white , gold and blue. Never know how many chevrons for each rank though - 2nd lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major , colonel , probaly blue for junior ranks . Ranjit.
