Dick Barnes read Classics at Oxford and thus had a basic understanding of modern Greek . He was one of the British officers / guerrillas on Crete associated with Patrick Leigh-Fermor . Dick has a chapter about him in the book " The Cretan Runner " as Dick was dark haired and strongly built he could pass for a Cretan mountain man . He became a family friend when he taught my older brother John Keegan at Kings College Taunton in 1940/41. John later became a well known Military Historian.
