Amadeo Guillet (aka Ahmed Abdallah Al Redai ) -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amedeo_GuilletGuillet's most important battle happened towards the end of January 1941 at Cherù when he decided to attack enemy armoured units. At the end of 1940, the allied forces faced Guillet on the road to Amba Alagi, and specifically, in the proximity of Cherù. He was entrusted by Amedeo Duca d'Aosta with the task of delaying the allied advance from the North-West. The battles and skirmishes in which this young lieutenant was a protagonist (Amedeo did not have the appropriates rank, but he commanded an entire brigade) are boldly written in the British bulletins of war. The "devilries" that he created from day to day, almost seen as a game, explains why the British called him not only "Knight from other times" but also the Italian "Lawrence of Arabia". Horse charges with unsheathed sword, guns, incendiary and hand bombs against the armoured troops had a daily cadence
Varjag
En italiensk Lawrence of Arabia, så småningom of Ireland eftersom han flyttade dit senare i livet. Kämpade även mot tyskarna i hemlandet under krigets senare del och enligt källorna en gentleman av den riktigt gamla skolan. Polska kavallerichocker mot pansar har ju smulats sönder men Guilett hade lite enklare motstånd - Det är ändå fascinerande hur effektiv en kavallerienhet kan vara, även mot moderna vapen om dessa börjar vackla. Italienska skvadroner ska också ha lyckats med en framgångsrik chock mot ryssar nära Donfloden i augusti 1942, har inte fått fram detaljer men ska söka vidare.
