IMPORTANT NEW DOCUMENTS FOUND

19/6/2018

 
Thanks to information supplied by Adolfo Zamboni of Padova, the Chairman has been able to find a tranche of documentation in the National Archives, Kew, London. This comprises the majority of the final citations approved by MI9/19 in London, based upon the original recommendations in the Allied Screening Commission Awards Register. MI9/19, under the command of Lt Colonel Sam Derry, MC, DSO, and later Lt Colonel John Furman, made a number of amendments to the register. 
The final citations repeatedly refer to the outstanding courage, magnificent courage, unceasing courage and great courage of the Italian award winners.
As a result, the title of the book about to be published has been amended to "Italy's Outstanding Courage".
