Footnote: The 26th Mountain Infantry Division Assietta was an Infantry Division of the Italian Army, formed on August 6, 1935, and was active during the Second World War. The Assietta Division was reorganized on April 5, 1939, as a binary Mountain division. Mountain Divisions are not to be confused with the "Alpini" specialized mountain troops. The Mountain divisions had pack horse artillery instead of the usual towed type. Most men drafted in the Assietta Division came from Asti and the surrounding area.
