Dodecanese Force 281

Researching this force, does anyone have any information about it, in particular 8th Punjab Regt involvement as part of 234 Brigade I believe.

 

I’ve not heard of this unit before (another new thing I learned about WW2 today), a quick search brought up this man’s record of award of the DSO so thought I would post it. I’ll see what else I can find
