    ESCAPES FROM CAMP 49 (FONTANELLATO). ITALY

    RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AWARDS|
    ​
    (1) After the Armistice with Italy, the Italian Commandant of this camp handed over to the Senior British Officer, who organised P/W into companies and ordered them to be ready to march out at five minutes’ notice on the sounding of the alarm by the camp bugler. The alarm was sounded at 1300 hours on 9th September 1943 and everything went according to plan.

    (2) I recommend the following officers for the awards shown, brief partiulars being given in the enclosures stated opposite their names:-
