Historical Background:
The King's African Rifles had failed its attack against Gambela, so the 11th Battalion of the "Force Publique" was ordered to capture the city. Italian troops have prepared defensive positions with a lot of automatic weapons, particularly on the hill called "the Sugar Loaf" by British soldiers. Congolese troops had to advance on an open field, 800m long, under enemy fire, before to reach the first buildings of the city. Advancing through the bush and along the dry river banks, Congolese soldiers entered in the enemy line. A charge with bayonets fixed made by a platoon of the 2nd Company gave the destruction of an Italian defensive position. The battle lasted until the evening, and in the night, the Italian garrison evacuated the place and withdrew towards Saio. Gambela was in the hands of the "Force Publique".
