    WO 373/63/128
    ESCAPES FROM CAMP 102 (AQUILA) ITALY

    RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AWARDS    ​
    (1) After the Armistice with ITALY had been signed, the Italian Commandant opened the gates of the camp and marched the P/W out into the hills, as it was reported that Germans were approaching. A certain number of escapers were rounded up by German paratroops and taken back to camp, but the majority got safely away.

    (2) I recommend the following other ranks for the awards shown, brief particulars being given in the enclosures stated opposite their names
