The 18 Coastal Brigade was part of XVI corp and stationed in the south east corner of Sicily in the area facing landings of the British 8th Army .

I could not find infos about which units composed it , but at the time many of the Coastal units were formed with stratch units taken from whenever possible so a precise record is not always available

Yours
