Would anyone by any chance know about the composition of divisional troops (artillery, engineers and signals) of 11st (East Africa) Infantry Division? Looking at the order of battle online, I can see that the infantry battalions of its three brigades were all African battalions. However, I would like to find out about the divisional troops. Were these also African formations, drawn from the indigenous population of the countries concerned, or were they British formations drawn from the UK? Any insights would be appreciated!
