Overview:
Brig's Peak was seen by the Italians and British as the key to the Mt. Sanchill position, which dominated the entire Keren defensive line. After taking Cameron Ridge on 3 February, 2/Camerons had failed to take the feature the next day. Once night had fallen, it was the turn of B Company, 3/14 Punjab regiment of the Indian Division. The position appeared strong, and the commander of B Company was confident of being able to hold it against any Italian counter-attack, taking the feature first seemed almost an afterthought. The Indians were unaware they faced the best of the Italian Army, the Savoia Grenadiers, entrenched on the Peak. This elite unit, among then the only mountain-trained troops in East Africa, was ready to defend its positional advantage with great determination. Between 2000 and 2400, B Company of 3/14 Punjabis attacked up the steep slopes in the darkness. All hell was about to break loose.Attacker: British (B and D Companies, 3/14th Punjab Regiment, 4th Indian Division with Regimental HQ)
Defender: Italian (2nd Battalion, 11th Regiment, 65th Infantry Division, “Granatieri di Savoia”)
