Shame the Telegraph didn’t get their facts correct. Tony Snell didn’t escape with an American officer, it was Major Peter Lewis MC of the 8th Durham Light Infantry, who with Tony Snell set up the boys home in Modena to thank the Italians for helping them to escape. Read their story in ‘Escape or Die’ by Paul Brickhill

Sorry to hear of his passing.

After some more reading on these telegraph pages I also found this message:

They certainly bred them in those days,another life well lived R I P.

I agree another amazing WW2 story. RIP Sir. Like most of these escape accounts they would make excellent films or documentaries. Shame there is not more of them.

An amazing story. RIP.
