Thank you, Jeff (y)

At least a few times, I was directed to Giuseppe Rizzo's "Buche e Croci cel Deserto. Apoteosi della Divisione CR "Ariete" as for monography of the Division "Ariete". Recently I have found a copy for 120 Euro. Is it worth the money, considering that the book was published in 1969? What are your...

Beda Fomm, you were referring to in one of the discussions?

Great find, Maurizio I would go for the 202nd at Derna. That is what tells me the Allegato for Diario Storico Militare del Giorno 6/1/41 (USSME N-2/390) of Comando Superiore FF.AA. AS That is where Schizzo 17 Prima Offensiva Britannica takes its data. Regards Slavomir

Maurizio, I know that it is not much but I can locate two platoons of 202nd at Derna on 6 JAN (Scacchiere libico - egiziano. Situazione al 6-1-1941 from CS FF.AA. AS files). I keep digging Regards Slavomir

Maurizio, I agree that the Battle for Derna lasted longer than just on 25 JAN. And yes, I have read the whole WD. And I found that the OOB presented by Annex A to Op Inst No 7 from 25 JAN (which I inserted just as an example), was valid until 30 JAN when 2/8 Fld Coy returned under the control of...

Same here. I got the email as well, and the book is available on Helion's site. Regards Slavomir

Jeff is correct, Maurizio Please find attached the exert from 19th Bde WD Regards Slavomir

Don't have the files listed, but in my notes, I marked Roll 36 as "seen", but no copies. Apparently, nothing interesting, for me at least. Maybe something from 1942 - 1943? Cannot recall... Regards Slawomir

You are right, that how this portion was called: Unfortunately, I don't have the full roll. I was going one by one through those that looked interesting to me. The other doc from that roll that I was going through are: Formazioni ed Organici di Guerra for CCNN from April 1940.

Maurizio, Unless the file were put there by mistake by someone in Ufficio Ordinamento e Mobilitazione, I would argue that it is AS40 as I have taken it from May 1940 document:

Maurizio and Jeff, The files come from NARA (T-821, Roll 35). It covers different types of units designed for service in the A.S., including artillery. Yes, you are right. Here is the summary for the artillery regiment:

Antonio and Andrea Tallillo. Authors of "Carro L6. Carri leggeri, semoventi, derivati", "Carro L3. Carri veloci, carri leggeri, derivati" to name a few. Regards

Just doing a quick check in my AS files, I can tell that according to "Formozioni Provissorie di Guerra di alcune unita metropolitane per l'A.S." issued May 1940 it is three batteries in gruppo. Regards
