Ο κ ΠΑΝΤΑΖΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΕΠΙΣΚΕΨΗ ΤΟΥ ΣΤΗΝ Δ. ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ

During my visit to the Prefecture of Western Macedonia Greece. An important area for the Anzacs as the first battles in Greece where Anzacs joined the Brits and the Greeks in the Battle of Vevi and surrounding towns before battles at the Aliakmon River near Servia. This is where the Anzacs were first reformed in WW2 on 12 April 1941 and where they first fell and were captured on Greek soil. In fact many Anzacs remain here their locations unknown. The Prefecture wants to conduct an annual event in April with the support of the Australian Embassy to honour the Anzacs. In fact the oldest WW2 memorial in Greece is located at Xinon Nero and built in 1945 to honour those that were the first to fall in Greece
