Many Anzacs of Greece and Crete came from rural Australian families, including Greek

migrants and Indigenous Australian. In fact, Australia’s highest ranked Indigenous

Australians. Dr. Bendon will have artifacts, documents and photographs from these hardfought

battles and is keen to hear from any residents with family who served in the conflict.

Many Australian servicemen were hidden, supported and saved by the Cretan and Greek

people and through his exhibition Dr. Bendon has discovered many of these untold stories.
