Christmas at Camp 119

Second World War Field 119 in California USA War is long over but the Italian Prisoners Still waiting to return home preparing to celebrate away from families another sad Christmas To dare a little rein to Their longing they tell Episodes of Their Life A Roman tells the USA difficult married life A Neapolitan soldier tells of His lieutenant a Neapolitan duke penniless Meanwhile the camp commander gave Prisoners and a gramophone So Ai stories intertwine songs Another soldier recalls the parties and the songs of the Sicilian spring WHILE a Venetian gondolier evokes A HIS love affair Sometimes From Radio shabby listening news from abroad and Italy Finally one day comes the pending release and All They return home
