| NOTES
Ken Burgess b 18-10-1916; d 17-12-1981 Personal War Diary quotes “April 28: Captured at 7 pm in the hills at T. Beach. Went in under the White Flag by order of the ‘Brigadier’.” Archivist’s comment: This presumably refers to the Brigadier i/c at Navplion rather than Brigadier Parrington at Kalamata.
