Christophe Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 This is a badge celebrating the Italian victory in the Battle of Antalo-Amba Aradon (Ethiopia) on 15-16 February 1936.The badge approximately says (not an expert in Italian...): "11th Alps RegimentLightning as the eagle, Strong as the lionAntalo15-16 February 1936".Hope this helps.Cheers.Ch.
