[QUOTE="micky, post: 42902, member: 70"] Hello friends, i would open a new post about the "Envelope/Blue" British Liaison Mission in Reggio Emilia area, 1944/1945, with some pics for the site and for the friends. I wouold also pay a debt of honour to these brave but forgotten men. "Envelope" was born at the end of the big "rastrellamento" of the end of july 1944, when the British Officers parachuted near Montefiorino disbanded under the push of the Germans. Maj. Charles Holland, with his radioman Frank Hayhurst bacame the BLO of the Mission "TOFFEE", responsible for the rugged appennine mountais between East Parma and West Reggio. Maj. Wilcockson becamo the BLO of the area between East Reggio-West Modena. When Wilcockson returned to the allied side of the Front, his plave was taken by the Captain Michael Lees, and his radioman Cpl. Andrew "Bert" Farrimond. Until the end of the war, they became the backbone of the "ENVELOPE/BLUE" mission. [/QUOTE]
