| NOTES & SOURCES
Source: Daughter (Donna) “Dad never talked about his time in the war, when we asked why he didn’t go to the RSA (Returned and Services Association) he would always respond why would I want to remember that time. A cousin told me at his funeral that when he returned to New Zealand, he slept with a machete under his pillow for the first few years.” For more information please email us at greekveterans@gmail.com and we will forward your request to our Archivist Noah Scott |
