British military authorities revealed today that for two years prior to the Allied invasion of Greece, a small group of British officers led by Colonel, now Brigadier, C.W. Myers, directed guerrilla activity there.
The officers were dropped by parachute in 1942. Brigadier Myers, who is a Jew, was mentioned at one time as a possibility for commander of the Jewish Brigade. Last January he was made a Commander of the British Empire in recognition of his work in Greece.
