Default 12 (African) Division

These images were taken in the military museum in the old fort in Kumasi, Ghana. Even 25 years ago when I was there, the contents of the museum was, very sadly, deteriorating. The images on a commemorative print show symbolic badges representing the Division's Brigades. 12 (African ) Division (White kudu on Black square) and its sister formation 11 (African) Division (Black ace of clubs on White square) advanced out of East Africa in Dec 40 and eventually completely destroyed the Italian armies in Italian Somaliland and Abyssinia.

Some time ago I did a little reading on 12 African Div and as a result drew this Orbat which may be of interest. If anybody has any additions / corrections I would appreciate it.
