    Thank you so much for this series of diary entries during the General Kreipe abduction. It could easily have been a ‘Boys own adventure’ fiction publication. How lucky we all were to have Stanley Moss & even more lucky to have Mihali…Paddy doing our work in Crete during those years. I have been lucky & had Elpida show me around Paddy & Joan’s house in Kalamitsa, a highlight of my life! What a character & how fortunate Britain was in having heros of their quality that served us.

    Regards

    Martin Sandford

      My pleasure Martin. It is all the work of Chris White, with whom on Tuesday and with a dozen others, we ate moussaka from Elpida’s recipe and toasted these warriors, their endeavours and sacrifice.
