Re: Name that Battle!
The 2nd never saw combat as far as I was aware. The 5th Tank Group is the only tank unit in italy that would have used black soldiers, but they were attached to the aformentioned 92nd. So all in all I'm stumped, the 93rd was in the Pacific at this time so if it's not the 92nd then I look foreward to learning something new about history

Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

It's between them, but the answer is still a bit vague. It's commonly credited on books was one of the battles that "changed" History.

That is either Muscat in the Gulf of Oman, but the city in the back suggests that it is the Portuguese victory at Diu, India.
