The battle saw one of the first British pushes against the Italians in the East Africa Campaign and took place on the 6th November 1940. Featuring Slims 10th Indian Infantry Brigade supported by a mixed squadron of 12 light and medium tanks, artillery and the RAF against a fort held by mainly Italian native troops.
This battle was a prelude to the Battle of Keren that took place two months later and that we will be fighting in a couple of weeks at Salute.
