The medals of a soldier who fought with the SAS behind enemy lines in Italy have been sold.
Lt James Riccomini escaped German captivity in Italy and joined partisan fighters.
The former Nottingham schoolboy was made an MBE and awarded the Military Cross for action with the SAS before being killed in a raid in 1945.
His awards, along with items including his insignia and fake Italian identity pass, have fetched £9,800 at auction.
