Just then the Dean approached Richard to ask if he could join them. He explained that all bar five of his company had formed their own groups. Just he and his small headquarters staff remained. Richard was reluctant: six people was already a lot; twelve would be much harder to hide. But he felt he could not say no, after all, the Dean was a colonel and Richard was only a captain. Richard assumed that the Dean would take over command, but he showed no sign of wanting the responsibility and it was tacitly agreed that Richard would lead, despite being the junior of the two. He had the compass, the map and a rudimentary grasp of Italian. He had diligently attended a few classes in camp and knew enough words to make himself understood.

Towards dusk, reports started to trickle back from POWs who’d left the night before that there were large numbers of German troops guarding the Via Emilia and the Bologna–Milan railway which ran side by side only three miles away. One party was even rumoured to have turned back. This was something of a blow. Richard knew that the railway and the road lay directly in their path; if they wanted to head south they had no choice but to cross them both.
