Check if it was Lieutenant General Annibale Bergonzoli's XXIII Corps - I think it may have been the XXI Corps (I dont think there was a XXIII Corps in Africa at that time. XX, XXI and XXII Corps formed the Tenth Army under command of General d'Armata Tellera.
I checked Pitt: The Crucible of War: Wavell's Command - he clearly states in the oob for this period that XXI Corps under command of Annibale Bergonzoli contained the 1st and 2nd Blackshirt Divisions! BUT...... this could have been after Bardia, as the oob gives no specific date - its the Compass oob. So, I go along with your text. Farawayman (talk) 16:42, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In the CampaignBox, if you list Bergonzoli as commander (i.e. Italian Corps Commander), then should we not list the corresponding Allied Corps Commander: O'Conner?
And list all the Italian division commanders to match Mackay? Mackay was in overall command of the attacking force; Bergonzoli of the defence. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I concur fully...outstanding job! This battle set the pattern and tone for the rest of Operation Compass. Arguably, if you take Bardia and repeated it about 8 times you would basically have Compass.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) (talk) 14:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
