THE FORGOTTEN GREEK HEROES OF THE BATTLE OF RIMINI

 The Battle of Rimini and the heroes of the 3rd Hellenic Mountain Brigade is one of the lesser-known events of World War II and a proud moment for Greece. 

It was seventy-eight years ago this month that the Greek expeditionary force made a decisive contribution to the Allies' effort to repel the Germans from the Italian Peninsular.

The Italian city of Rimini was captured by Greek, Canadian and Australian fighters and the Greek flag waved in the City Hall.

The Rimini takeover was not only the prize of the hard and bloody battle of the Brigade but it brought Greece back to the forefront two years after the battle of El Alamein,

The war ended with the victory of the Allies and the heroic contribution of the 3rd Mountain Brigade gave Greece credit to promote its position and territorial claims at the ensuing peace conference.

It is 2022, and we wish to thank our ancestors and tell them how proud we are of their heroic  deeds
