Description: The tribal troops of the battalion size 4th Tabor had come into it’s own in the mountainous terrain of Sicily when they were ordered to attack Mount Caniglia. Previously the Italians facing the Goumiers of the 66th Goum had shown little appetite for fighting but at Caniglia they encountered troops of the Aosta Division that did not fold so easily. *
