Much has been written about the Battle of Crete and the Battle of Greece, and more is to be written about the time when Greeks and Australians fought bravely and sacrificed their lives for freedom. Years later, both Australian and Greek veterans met, time and time again, after the elements had washed away the blood-soaked fields of valour.
This year, like every other, Anzac Day will be commemorated in Greece. Preparations are under way to ensure that here in Greece we remember the 700 Australians and 1200 New Zealanders who gave their all for freedom.
