I've been working through my paybooks to wounded men trying to put into context where they were when wounded and what their units were doing and in most I have managed to at least get a rough idea but I'm struggling with 5 so I'm hoping fellow members can help (War Diaries would be ideal) - so here goes, looking for info on 64 Air Landing Light Battery of 165 Field Regiment RA 7/12/44 when H Iveson was wounded, they were in Greece at the time Thanks Alistair p.s. apologies that the basics of the posts will be cut and paste
Hi Alistair Extract from War Diaries of 64th Air landing Battery RA - 07 Dec 44 (WO 170-981) They were defending Averoff Prison at the time. Lt Morwood would be later awarded an MC. Obituary: Military Cross hero Bryan Morwood saved his comrades in prison battle Extract from War Diaries of 64th Air landing Battery RA - Jan 45 (WO 170-4684) Hope this helps Gus
Thanks for that, a real bonus for him to get a direct mention, shame there isn't a citation for Lt Morwood (I did see your previous thread about the lack of one) but the obituary helps set the scene - from looking online the prison is just across from Panathinaikos stadium so I have been on the street just outside where it stood.
