Recognition, Identification, and Reporting of Enemy Personnel. Report

ANNEX 'A' 1. The problem with which we are faced falls into two parts. There are at the present time many thousands of foreign troops, Poles, Czechs, Belgians, Dutchmen, Norwegians and French in the United Kingdom, and there is a danger that they may be mistaken by British troops, L.D.V., or civilian authorities for enemy parachutists or other enemy personnel. On the other hand it is possible that enemy parachutists might disguise themselves in the uniforms of one or other of these Allied armies as well as in British uniforms, and that such enemy troops might succeed in tricking our own troops and civil authorities into believing them to be Allied soldiers.
