Albanian front January 1941....
The heavy winter causing casualties from frostbites and problems in supplying lines, the need for rest and completion of units fighting continuously for more than two months, led the Greek General Headquarters in the decision to suspend large-scale operations. From now on, operations will have a local character to improve positions and to send offensive reconnaissance patrols in order to maintain the aggressive spirit of the Greek Army ...

You chaps look fantastic! Bloody well done!
You all look so 'uniform' and 'together' with your similarly issued kit, like a real fighting force.
Great to see something different, especially as your native country.

Great last picture in the falling snow!

And we finally made it! We met with Stavros and the Mediterraneo at Waltham Abbey 2015!
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
Had a great time with all of you , see you next time

The trouble only started when they gave a present to Mediterraneo.
