MI9 nos 1 to 499

These are British and Commonwealth escapers and evaders listed by their MI9 report numbers. Up until June 1944 evaders in northern Europe (other than Scandinavia) generally tried to reach England, usually through Spain, but after the Allied landings in Normandy, they tended to evade in the country in which they found themselves, sheltered by local people, and sometimes resistance organisations, until the advancing Allied forces reached them.

I don't have easy access to the National Archives and so the information on these pages comes from a wide range of sources, although as you can see, there are still many details missing - contributions from readers will be appreciated.

Escaper here means escaping from the Germans - most men were also interned by the French when they reached the ZNO

St Valery refers to St Valery-en-Caux where the Highland 51st Division were forced to surrender 12 June 1940

Miranda refers to the Spanish concentration camp at Miranda-del-Ebro where so many men were held for varying amounts of time

(Sillar/Fitch) refers to the first times I have been able to identify help given to escapers by the 'Organisation' in Marseille

The last of these men - Dvr McAngus - left Gibraltar for England 19 Nov 40

Capt Peter P Raikes RE and Capt Harold B Trythall RA should have been included here but they were killed in a Vichy French air raid on Gibraltar 25 Sept 40

Escaper here means escaping from the Germans - most men were also interned by the French when they reached the ZNO

It may be assumed that airmen with FTR (failed to return) dates were evaders unless otherwise noted

Note that some aircrew came down in the French ZNO where the question of escaper or evader from the Germans doesn't apply

St Valery refers to St Valery-en-Caux where the Highland 51st Division were forced to surrender 12 June 1940

Miranda refers to the Spanish concentration camp at Miranda-del-Ebro where so many men were held for varying amounts of time

MMB refers to the Mixed Medical Board in Marseille which passed (sometimes fraudulently) injured servicemen for repatriation

St Hippolyte refers to escapes from the French prison near Nimes where the Allied internees of Detachment W were held from Jan 41 to Mar 42

Note that the Organisation (PAO) now had all the elements of a clearly defined escape line from the Pas-de-Calais to Marseille, and on to Spain

* Walsh and Burgess were the first confirmed party from the Pas-de-Calais managed entirely by the Organisation

The last of these men - Sgt Scott RAF - left Gibraltar for England 26 August 41
