ANZAC-The Greek Chapter

In April 1941 Hitler launched his invasion of Greece. In homes across Australia and New Zealand people feared what lay ahead for their loved ones who were part of the Allied force sent to defend Greece.

This documentary tells the story of that defence. Drawing on over 130 hours of veteran interviews, see and listen to the story of the campaign from the veterans themselves. See them make their way north to stand alongside their Greek comrades as part of the Allied defence force. Listen to them recount the bitter battles and sorrows of the campaign. Hear them praise their Greek hosts who fought with them and helped them.

Narrated by Barrie Cassidy, whose father served in the campaign, this documentary by Peter Ewer and John Irwin, is a unique account of this campaign and of the Anzacs who served there.

This is an essential part of the Hellenic link to the Anzac story and not to be missed. The documentary is being screened at the Australian Nurses Memorial Centre.
