Remembrance Sunday with Cathy Macdonald Anna Magnusson | A POWs Escape from Captivity

All through her childhood, Anna Magnusson grew up with the colourful story of her Uncle Archie – her mother Mamie’s brother – who had been a POW during WWII and escaped after 18 months of captivity to try his luck in the rugged Italian countryside of Le Marche. When he was taken in by a peasant family, the Pilotti’s, to be fed and hidden from the Nazis, lifelong bonds took root. Exploring the meaning and importance of Remembrance, Anna learns of other POWs who made similar journeys, and travels to meet the family of Archie’s Italian parents.
