Operation Chronometer: Eritrea, 11 June 1941. Does anyone know anything about this operation?
I just have a few scraps of information. The aim of the operation was the capture of the Italian port of Assab, and as far as I can tell only one battalion took part (3/15th Punjab Regiment). I could be wrong about that though. As for naval and air assets involved, I've got nothing. None of the histories I have even mention it (although, admittedly, none deal exclusively with East Africa).
Thanks for any assistance,
Bill H.
