Standing from left to right, President Steve Kyritsis, daughters Lindy Richardson and Judy Cameron. Donald Cameron served with war hero Captain Reg Saunders who was the first Aboriginal Australian to be commissioned as an officer in the Australian Army. Following the invasion of Crete in May 1941, the 2/7th Battalion took part in the fighting around Hania including battles of 42nd Street. As the Allies th began to evacuate the island, the 2/7 was called upon to carry out a series of rearguard actions in order to allow other units to be taken off the island. After the final Allied ships departed the island on 1st June 1941, the battalion was left behind. As a result, many of its men including Donald Cameron and Reg Saunders were taken prisoner. Donald spent the rest of the war as a POW in German prisoner of war camps, whilst Reg escaped. With help from the local Cretan people, Reg hid for 11 months in the hills around the island and was evacuated from Crete by a British submarine in May 1942. Private John McGarrity Pictured are Loren Brown granddaughter and Mrs Patricia Brown daughter of veteran John McGarrity (2/2nd) who was killed at the Battle of Vevi in North Western Greece in 1941.

Private Harry Harr Pictured are Mrs Pam Bennet and Mr Paul Haar, who received the medal on behalf of their father veteran Private Harry Harr.

To do the story justice, we have decided to print the complete article in our next edition of Apostratos Newsletter.

  • On the Run in Greece
    ARTHUR ERNEST SCOONES (1917 – 2000) 20th NZ Battalion, 2nd Division ON THE RUN IN GREECE An account of the escape, evasion and eventual capture and incarceration of my father Arthur Ernest Scoones and his fellow soldiers Norman Joffre McTaggart and Patrick William (Paddy) Toohill in April 1941 during the Greek Campaign against the Axis forces of Italy and Germany. The original article was written and published by B C Borthwick on 7 August 1975 under the Title “Capture on the Island of Zante”. While the facts as described by Mr Borthwick remain unaltered, some grammar and place names have been corrected to assist readers. Also included in this account is an interview with Arthur by his Grand Daughter Anna Kirkwood as part of a 7th Form Project when she attended Riccarton High School. Document includes extract about the Battle of Greece taken from Wikipedia. Grant Scoones Marton, Rangitikei District April 2015 1 | P a g e ESCAPE, EVASION AND EVENTUAL CAPTURE ON THE ISLAND OF ZAKYNTHOS (ZANTE) The Three Musketeers The story concerns three NZ Infantry Soldiers fighting in Greece as part of the NZ Expeditionary Force, in the early stages of WW2. Sgt Norm McTaggart worked for Woolworths in Dunedin, Private Arthur Scoones, also from Dunedin was a butcher by trade and Private Paddy Toohill was a truck driver for a Christchurch brewery. All three had volunteered to serv ice their country, and were part of a small rear-guard echelon of British troops retreating from the advancing Nazi force in the Servia Pass area of Northern Greece. The retreat from Servia Pass was extremely dangerous, and the British troops scattered and took cover wherever they could, and for the next two weeks, Arthur, Norm and Paddy walked southwards avoiding main roads and the ever present German forces until they reached Astakos on the western coast of the Greek Peninsula.

Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers Abstract (summary) TranslateAbstract It is in the complex interactions of the immigrants being citizens and members of two distinctive national entities, the interactions between these two nation-states and their cultural and political markets, and their attempts to remain faithful to the motherland while maximizing their group interests in the United States, that the immigrants construct a new set of group attitudes (Kunkelman, 1990:1-3). There are three distinctive but interrelated sets of interests with their sources in the global, national and local levels, which interface and create a unique nexus of attitudes and "racial identity politics" for Greek immigrants and their descendants in the U.S.

I argue that it was the ambiguous play between Greek music’s discursive value (its “image”) and the semiotic potential of its sound and music-adjacent practices, that allowed for its double-reception by Euro-Israeli elites and Working-class immigrants from Arab and Muslim countries (Mizrahim). This ambiguity positioned Greek music as a site for bypassing, negotiating, and subverting the dichotomy between Jew and Arab. As embodied in the 1960s by the biggest local star of Greek music––Aris San (1940- 1992) ––and by Greek international films such as Zorba the Greek, Greece and “Greekness” were often perceived as an unthreatening (i.e.
