Yessir... He was a commander in Menelik's Tigrayan forces under Ras Mengasha during that first war.Close, but a generation before H.I.M.[TWEET]942453814543683585[/TWEET]

That's great news.
Looks like Emperor Haile Selassie LCE...are my old eyes deceiving me?
It's Gebre (Gabra) Selassie, he was a High ranking Tigray Governor under Menelik II of the Aksum Empire in the late 1880/90's early 1900's.
Ahh...then he was most likely in that position during the Battle of Adowa. I think I may have written something about him long ago (early 90s) when I wrote a paper on that topic in graduate school.
Them boys were straight Lions back then.
