Overview:
The Italians decided to evacuate the town of Kassala in the Sudan. Gazelle Force, an independent motorized unit, led the pursuit of the retreating Italians towad Keru. The Keru position was naturally strong and the Italian 41st Colonial Brigade was ordered to hold the fortified town. Gazelle Force made first contact with the Italians at Keru at 0430 and waited for the 4th Indian Division to come up. At 0700, a party of sixty Italian cavalrymen charged the headquarters unit and the artillery of Gazelle Force. They seemed to have come out of nowhere.Attacker: Italian (Elements of the 41st Colonial Brigade)
Defender: British (Elements of Headquarters Company and 28th Field Regiment, Gazelle Force)
