Today another chap and I are starting out for Switzerland. We hope to be there in two or three days time. If we are lucky this will not be sent, but if we fail you will receive this after the war. Sorry darling that I cannot write more, but this note has to be hidden securely. My love to all at home Janey I’m hoping to see you before long & remember that I love you, Your Husband Jim”The archive then moves onto his service with the SAS and his involvement in Operation Gallia, which is what he was awarded his Military Cross for.

Then continues with information about operation Tombola and his death during the attack on Villa Rossi, including his last letter home to his wife and also a letter written by Major R Walker-Brown about his death, “I am most sad to have to tell you that Ricci was killed in action in Italy on the 27th March 45.

Other paperwork in the archive includes his bestowal document for the MBE, painting of his parachute drop, two of his original diaries and a quantity of books about the SAS in which he is mentioned in most.M.B.E. London Gazette 1 March 1945, The recommendation for his award of the MBE was as follows, “Lieutenant James Arthur Riccomini (137803) 286 Coy R.A.S.C, Lieutenant Riccomini was captured at Halfaya Pass on the 16th June 1941 and was imprisoned in camp 5 (Gavi) at the time of the Italian Armistice. This camp was taken over by the Germans on the 9th September 1943 and the main body moved to Germany on 13th September 1943. With several other officers, Lieutenant Riccomini hid in the camp while the move took place, but was discovered three days later and moved by bus to Mantova. On the evening of the 18th September 1943, he and 16 other officers were locked in a cattle truck for transportation to Germany. Immediately the train started they began to cut a hole in the back of the truck, this was completed in about three hours and they drew lots as to who should jump first. Lieutenant Riccomini and another officer jumped from the moving train just north of Roverto at about 0430 Hrs on the 19th September 1943 and walked South-East making for Yugoslavia. A week later they joined a Partisan band led by an Italian ex-officer. Lieutenant Riccomini and his companion remained with this band until January 1944, helping to organise resistance, getting together dumps of ammunition and obtaining intelligence reports. The band was broken up by Germans and these officers then organised a route to Switzerland by which they themselves and several other Ex Prisoners of War in the area crossed the Swiss border on the 11th January 1944.” Military Cross London Gazette 1 March 1945. The recommendation for his Military Cross was as follows, “Lieutenant James Arthur Riccomini (137803) R.A.S.C, This officer dropped behind enemy lines by parachute on 27th December 1944 as 2nd in command of an S.A.S troop. On the 11th January 1945 he was commanding a detachment which ambushed a German column on the Genoa-Spezia road near Bocca Del Pignone. One lorry was completely destroyed and a staff car was riddled with Machine Gun fire. 30 casualties in killed and wounded were inflicted on the Germans. The success of this operation was entirely due to this officers personal skill and courage. He directed the fire attack on the column in full view of the enemy, completely ignoring the fire returned by them. On 19th January 1945 he again ambushed two vehicles on the road Pontrmoli-Spezia as they were crossing a bridge. One truck was destroyed and a number of casualties were inflicted on the Germans. When 10,000 enemy troops were conducting a Rostrellimento against the SAS contingent on several occasions it was entirely this officers skill and personal courage which prevented the enemy from capturing or killing personnel under his command. Despite a badly poisoned foot, in arctic conditions of gales, sleet and snow, he made his way through deep snow drifts with his men, never failing to carry out any task allotted him. Throughout the operations lasting from 27th December 1944 to 20th February 1945 he was a personal source of inspiration and encouragement to his men. His conduct could not have been excelled in any way being far above the normal call of duty.”
