    Award Military Medal Cpl. Awad El Mofadi Moussa, 602 Company Palestinian Pioneer Corps (Pal. 11203)


    ESCAPES FROM CAMP 78 (SULMONA) ITALY

    RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AWARDS
    (1) At the time of the Italian Armistice, the entire camp was organised for escape with great thoroughness by the Senior British Officer, Major COCHRANE. The alarm system, etc. worked perfectly and P/W were marched out in an orderly manner into the nearby hills as soon as news of German approach was received. The Germans succeeded in rounding up a number of escapers in the hills, but the majority got away, together with a number of those who were recaptured but subsequently escaped again.

    (2) I recommend the following members of the Palestinian Forces for the Awards shown, brief particulars being given in enclosures stated opposite their names:

    (a) Recommended for M.M. Cpl. MOUSSA, Awad El Mofadi, Pal. 11203

    (b) Recommended for “Mention” Pte. AHMAD, Omar, Pal. 12437 Palestinian Pioneer Corps
