Lt James Riccomini, 2 Sas

[Matte Incerti]

Hi Matteo,

Thank you for letting me know about your book, I will certainly buy it and enjoy reading it.

I am happy and grateful that so many people still think about all the people who sacrificed so much during the wars, we owe them our lifestyle.

All the best,

Paul

Paul, do you live in Italy ? Because in this days (if you were contacting me before) there are the 2 daughters of Harold Peterson who met Ed, Mary and the others of the big escape! You can meet them! Anyway they will be back in may again! Today they are in Vicenza tomorrow in Venice.

We had a big party last sunday in Fara and Dueville with Mary and the others, and so on.

Hi john, i have a little, very bad, low resolution pic of Riccomini and Sgt. Guscott, i'm trying to find a pic of Cpl. Bolden thanks to a local asssociation of Giffnock (Glasgow)

Hi Micky, I know this is a little late, but perhaps you could forward me a pic please as my grandson's [in ADF Aus] ancestor is Sgt Guscott
Cheers..... Cheryl

I am researching the war history of Lt James Riccomini, 2 S.A.S.He was killed on Operation Tombola in late March 1945.
Before that, he had served on Operation Galia, another 2 S.A.S. operation in Rossano/Northern Tuscany, between 27th December 1944 and c.14th February 1945. He was a fluent Italian speaker, and acted as liason officer with the partisans [including my father].
I am researchiung his earlier history. I believe that he was held in Campo PG 41 at Montalbo [Piacenza] and escaped from the castle there by digging a tunnel. He then joined the partisans. Can anybody help me to confirm this?
Many thanks

I have written a book on 2SAS Operation Pistol for September 1944 as my father SQMS John Alcock led one group out - C3 group - He later was with Farran in Tuscany but as an SQMS he was responsible for sending out after packing supply containers to missions. My father was Jack Pailey's best friend. Have you heard of a man alive today with the initials WR? he could help you - let me know and I will ask him if he can help - sorry cannot give his name. I think you looked me up on Linkedin some time ago. Graham
