Most of the British and Allied prisoners of war in Italy were captured in the great tank battles across North Africa.

In September 1943 an Armistice was signed between the Allies and Italy. The invasion of the mainland began and the Germans occupied the rest of the country.

In the chaos almost 50,000 Allied prisoners of war escaped from their camps and were helped by a secret army of Italian civilians.

They included the author's mother and grandparents who assisted 20 British and South African escapers in the mountains of northern Italy.
