Mervyn Mitton Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The question is - should this be under British or, Italian ? During WW2 South African Forces drove through Africa - all 28,000 of them and forced 250,000 Italian troops to surrender in Abyssinia - now Ethiopia. Lt. Col.MacMillan was the C.O. of Natal Mounted Rifles - S.A.'s oldest regiment - in those early days and this Italian General's cap badge was found with his own badges. I have made enquiries but, we have never been able to find ref. to an incident where a General would have surrendered to him.Did Italian general's wear a generic badge - as ours do - or, is this for a specific rank at that time. All input greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
