The connection between the 103ð Gruppo and 'indians' is derived from the unit's post war history, when as it progressed north up Italy as the nation recovered, it was characterised by operating from tents. This continued in the G.91 era, and the unit was often greeted by the cry 'Here come the Indians!'
