The main detachments of the Acqui division in the islands of Cephalonia and Corfu were officially dissolved 25 September 1943.

[1] On 10 June 1940 the Italian invasion of France commenced and the Acqui engaged French forces in the Maddalena Pass-Argentera-Colle del Ferro area.

On 6 December 1940 the Acqui was ordered to move to Albania to reinforce the crumbling Italian front in the Greco-Italian War.

In early February 1941 the division was pulled back to Smokthinë in the Shushice river valley to rest and refill its depleted ranks.

In the course of the German-led Battle of Greece the Acqui attacked on 14 April 1941 at Bolenë, Horë-Vranisht and Maja e Mesimerit.

[1] Between 20 December 1940 and 23 April 1941, the casualties in the Acqui Division were 481 killed, 1,163 missing, 1,361 wounded and 672 frostbitten.

[9] After the Greek surrender the Acqui became the part of the occupation force on the islands of Corfu, Lefkada, Zakynthos and Cephalonia.

[13] All 280 Italian officers on the island were executed during the next two days on the orders of General Hubert Lanz, in accordance with Hitler's directives.
