Three photo albums belonging to one Frank Scotti, who was based in Eritrea from 1912-1914. He commanded the 2nd company of the 1st Indigenous Battalion. He leaves Rome in early 1912 and spends a short time in Eritrea, gathering his unit at Agordat. He then transfers with his Eritreans to Libya, landing at Tripoli June 17. This album contains many news clippings of his units actions, along with letters and postcards.

This is the most comprehensive photo album I have seen on an Eritrean Battalion. B SOLD
