Statement of Pellegrino Nesti about some Allied servicemen

Pellegrino Nesti claims he helped, for two weeks from 24 September, two English servicemen who escaped from a camp in Modena. They eventually reached the the village of Prunetta, in the mountains near Pistoia. With the help of Carlo Ducceschi, he brought them to a hut in the woods, where they were given shelter food and clothes. They left the area one week later, to re-join their units. For his efforts, Pellegrino received a certificate of thankfulness.
