mini-SITREP XIV - letter from Ray Nightingale .......... As you say the Ethiopian Irregulars did a fine job under their British Officers. Alastair McCalman [KR174] wrote an admirable article about their operations for our archives. He was with them from early in the campaign until the Gold Coast battle at Uadara, north of Neghelli, in which he was awarded an immediate MC. The Irregulars were used to search out the Italian flanks and push in outposts. Alastair was then transferred to other operations. David McCalman was with the same unit for a while until he was transferred.
