Red Sea Hill Scouts ?
Some of you may remember I posted some BSAP badges etc. which were in a scrap book I bought in auction. I have just been reading a report about his time in Keren and the native troops recruted there, and one bunch of 22 Red Sea Hill scouts that had taken part in the advance from the Sudan from the North under command of a Major CAE Lea Later S.P.O. Keren. I have never come accross this unit in any books on the East African campeign, is there anyone here that can add anything to add to the scanty knowledge of this unit, thanks, John.
