Since your unit had only one or two companies then battalion would be an accurate description, far more than brigade or division or whatever you're using these days.

So I take it then that you desire I call them by the original term of choice as also reported in the newspapers, that being batallion? Considering that this is the term I initially posted, albeit to much protest from your ally, it is one that I will happily employ. If that is the case though may I ask that you kindly inform your buddy Partisan of this request so that he does not complain again upon its use?

Sure, except I'll spell battalion correctly. Now, the big question is whether you will call them 'battalion' or will you continue to insist on referring to the unit as a 'division'?
