Overview:
A few days before August 11th, soldiers of the Italian invasion force driving into British Somaliland found themselves facing the rocky escarpment of “Mill Hill”, one of seven hills blocking the Tug Argan Pass. General Nasi, commander of the invading Italians, knew this pass was the key to the Italian advance out of Ethiopia; beyond the pass stretched the Somali plain devoid of natural obstacles. Determined to take the pass, General Nasi ordered assaults on the seven hills. At “Mill Hill”, the Italians moved forward with heavy support, following a morning artillery barrage. Fierce fighting ensued along the ridges and hills.Attacker: Italian (Raggruppamento Corazzo Africa Oriental)
Defender: Indian (British) (3rd Battalion, 15th Punjab Indian Regiment)
