Celebrations for 70th Anniversary of Battle of Crete, Sydney

Right in the heart of Sydney, at Hyde Park, a ceremony was held commemorating the 70th anniversary of Australia’s involvement in the Allied campaigns in Greece and Crete during the Second World War.

The ceremony, organized by Trustees, was extremely moving with a lot of references to the intimate bonds between the people of Greece and Australia.

Commemorations included this year were the inauguration of an exhibition with pictures and original military objects and equipment, such as helmets and medals.

The presence of 92-year old veteran, Oswald Pearce, who served in Crete was really impressive.

Dr. Maria Konstantopoulou-Hill, a Greek expatriate specializing in military history, praised the sacrifices of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
