Australians Leave Greece After Courage Under Fire
Australians retreating from Greece endured weariness and dirt as they returned by a patchwork fleet of boats to an island port. Nurses rode with combat troops as they faced a nerve war described by the retreat’s steadfast morale and improvised transports. In Greece a brigade fought near Pinios River, delaying German advances for hours with captured troops, while multiple river crossings and coast road maneuvers culminated in a cautious withdrawal to Larissa.
