The muntaz was a military rank of the Italian colonial troops, equivalent to the rank of corporal in the Italian Royal Army Regio Esercito. The muntaz is placed by rank under the Ascaro. He served as a squad commander in the colonial units and was chosen amongst the askaris who could read and write Italian .〔AA.VV. ''Enciclopedia Militare'', Edizioni de Il Popolo d'Italia, 1937, Roma, voce: ''Sciumbasci''〕 ==Badge of Rank== The badge of rank of a muntaz consisted of a gallon of red wool fabric, in the shape of a corner, with the tip pointing toward the shoulder, with a black triangular undercloth. Moreover a muntaz wore a star and a gallon on his tarboosh, with the base parallel to the lower edge of the hat itself.〔Regolamento dei Regi Corpi Truppe Coloniali (1929)〕 On the badge there were also marks of long service and merit (the Crown of Savoy) as a badge of merit for promotion in war, and the frieze of specialty (gunner, chosen gunner, musician, trumpeter, drummer, saddler, farrier) and the badge for injury in war. A muntaz of the zaptié in the full dress wore also white and black ostrich feathers on his hat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muntaz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
