The 26th "Assietta" Infantry Division was a large unit of the Royal Army, operational during
the Second World War. In particular, it was a division of mountain infantry, which was
distinguished from the analogous ordinary infantry units by the traction of the divisional
artillery regiment, which was composed of two groups with a bow and one with a trolley, instead
of two horse trainees and one with a bow. the use of baggage instead of the classic carriage.
With the progress of the war and the progressive motorization of a considerable part of the
divisional artillery, the mountain divisions became substantially indistinguishable from the
normal infantry divisions, and the specific denomination gradually fell into disuse.
