There are so few times in a foreign correspondent's career when they can feel the reality of being held in the affection and respect of others: Ischia was one of those rare occasions! I arrived there knowing that as soon as I left I would be going straight to report on the final stages of the battle for Mosul, so I especially appreciated the beauty of the island and the great warmth my wife and I were shown during the whole time we were there. It was a great award to win, of which I am truly proud.  I shall treasure it deeply. Thank you!
