Do you have April Fools Day in Italy ?

[otto]

We do.

[larry marak]

We do.

But did either side use Camelry? I know we'll have British, Australian and Arab irregular and Turkish Camelry in Lawrence of Arabia for Infantry Attacks, but did either side use Camelry in the Ethiopian campaign?

There should not be camels ... nor other exotic animals.
I do not think they were used at all by Ethiopians but I will ask Lorenzo

I read the Elephant Corps article with mild amusement. I noticed a couple of urban legends and a Darwin Award in there. Still my favorite has got to be BBC spaghetti trees. (Microsoft's internet alpine yodeling was good too.)

Hrrm, Major "I don't give a shit" is quite the character. And his wife?

Was this article written by Dr. Scatologica?

Peter.

LOL - Yes, a classic piece of TV

Otto, Italian zaptie forces (camelry) were commited from Italian Somaliland in the invasion of Ethiopia. The only African native to win the Italian Gold medal of valor was a camelryman.

There seems to have been a European manifestation as well, as recreated in the Road to Berlin scenario "Rebirth of Camelry."
