Wondering who they are. I suppose they could be brits. But cant distinguish, the cocade on their salacots, cant read the truck plate. The rifle muzzle of the men jumping off the trucks looks like a Lee enfield. Trucks dont look italian at all. Shorts and socks look like brits, but the salacot is whats gettin me lost.
 
Definitely British. Wearing the Wolseley helmet which was initially issued to British forces operating in the Middle East on the grounds that the regular helmet would get too warm and cook the soldiers brains.
 
WW2 - Free French Forces in Africa - who won victories at Mourzouk, Kufra, Massawa and Keren (Libyan Campaign)
