[10] An Italian infantry brigade, commanded by a Brigadier-General or sometimes by a Colonel, comprises two regiments of three battalions each, each battalion of about 1,000 men.
[11] An Italian regiment comprises 12 companies (4 per battalion).
[12] It should be borne in mind that there was as yet no contact between the Italian forces in Albania and the Allies in Macedonia. Between the two there was a vast mountain area, sparsely inhabited by Albanians, and almost without roads.
[13] These names had been given to the positions by the French troops who were first in this area, from supposed resemblance to places in France.
