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.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
