  *A request, mostly out of curiosity: could you provide the exact citation for the Allied casualty figure? I would wish to compare them to the Italian one, since a 1:100 killed or missing ratio is quite extraordinary, especially given that they took almost as many casualties against a smaller Italian force at Kulkaber. My first thought is that the two sources may have recorded casualties under different criteria - perhaps the Italian one records casualties at Kulkaber and Gondar, for instance.
