107th Signal Battalion "Predil"
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 107th Signal Battalion "Predil" (Italian: 107° Battaglione Trasmissioni "Predil") is an inactive signals unit of the Italian Army. The battalion was formed in 1946 and assigned to the Infantry Division "Mantova". In 1975 the battalion was named for the Predil Pass and received the number 107th, which had been used by the 107th Teleradio Company that served with the Combat Group "Mantova" during the Italian campaign of World War II. With the name and number the battalion also received its own flag. In 1991 the battalion was disbanded and in 2002 reformed as the second signal battalion of the deployable 7th Signal Regiment.[1] The regimental anniversary falls, as for all signal units, on June 20, the height of the Second Battle of the Piave River in 1918.[2]
