'Fry' was a British special forces raid to capture and hold four islands in Lake Comacchio in the north-eastern part of Italy, in the process supplementing the slightly earlier 'Roast' and thus serving as a diversion during 'Buckland' by drawing the attention of the Germans away from the Argenta gap, where the main effort of 'Buckland' was to be made (3/4 April 1945).

The islands were assaulted by men of Major Anders Lassen’s 'M' Squadron of the Special Boat Service supported by Italian partisans of Arrigo Boldini’s 28^th Brigata Garibaldi 'Mario Gordini', which were part of the reserve available to Lieutenant General C. F. Keightley’s British V Corps of Lieutenant General Sir Richard McCreery’s British 8^th Army. On landingm the SBS troops found that the islands were not currently garrisoned by the Germans, but later took prisoner a small number of Germans who arrived on a regular inspection.
