"Busty" Read (reed) was my Father. So nice to see a pic of him on this forum. He was a Memebr of the Raiding Forces and also of the Greek Sacred Band. So difficult to find info regarding their movements back then because most of the time they were working semi-autonomously. Any readers that may be able to help with identifying the actual unit he was attached to would be gratefully recieved. I will add some pics that my Father took, a little later.
Thanks David...photo now updated... Pete R
