[QUOTE="Riverdown, post: 42417, member: 1246"] Hi there, this is fascinating guys! I am also trying to find out about my fathers wartime actions (also in the Lovat Scouts). He would never talk to me about Greece, but would occasionally open up to my elder sister (10yrs older) at the end of a long day with a large scotch. According to his family something changed my dad in Greece and he became a different person after his experiences, much darker. Apparently he became quite emotional (for him) and would talk about having to stand back & watch the retaliations by government soldiers onto villagers which harboured & helped the communist rebels. They weren't allowed to interfere but neither could they leave as they had their orders to remain with the greek "loyalists" & had to watch the atrocities. He became very bitter about the British Government & Prince Philips "lot". He described being in Jasper as "the best time of my life" and indeed I learned to ski using the old ski equipment, (not fun when your ten & couldn't even reach the top of the ski at full stretch). I have photos in case anyone is interested? [/QUOTE]
