    Hi Steve, my father was a British POW who escaped from PG54 during the armistice. He also spent some time in the woods before being sheltered by an Italian family until he was rescued by the allies in June 1944. Through some great efforts by an amazing Italian journalist and some of his friends on this forum; my family (who now mostly reside in Canada) have been able to connect with that Italian family - and amazingly the daughter of that family that sheltered my dad is still alive (at 96), she remembers my dad well. This story was bought to life by a recently published article in Italy.
    In June, we are hoping to visit and re-trace my dads steps and visit the family that my dad said kept him alive.
    That's amazing that your dad kept a diary of camp 54, would you ever consider sharing some of that info ?
