Commemoration of the 84th Anniversary of the 1941 Greek Campaign

A service to commemorate the 84th Anniversary of the 1941 Greek Campaign.

 

The Brotherhood exists to ensure that the Greek Campaign of the Second World War and the men who were left behind are not forgotten.

The impressive Greek stone and marble altar in this outdoor chapel symbolises the strength of this Brotherhood that was established in April 1991 commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the surrender of The Allied Forces at Kalamata, the Peloponnese in Southern Greece.

Ten thousand men were captured and became Prisoners of War (POWs), enduring massive hardship and terrifying trials until Liberation. The horrors of war and incarceration created a band of spirited and brave young men whose camaraderie and resilience survives even to this day.
