List of ANZAC Escapers from Crete
I have visited Crete three times in recent years, walking in the Lefka Ori and following some of the routes used by retreating Allied troops in May 1941 as they made their way south over those harsh mountains to the coast to be evacuated. Not everyone got away and I want to remind readers to this site that the troops left behind, some of whom evaded on the island for years, were only able to remain free because of the traditional, selfless hospitality of the people of Crete.
This list refers to the article ANZAC Escapers from Crete and is made up from the lists available in the 2006 book "On The Run" by Seán Damer and Ian Frazer, and a page from the ANZAC Freemen in Europe website (Part 5 – Other European, Chapter 5 – Crete). Note that not all of the men listed escaped from the island of Crete, and that some of those who did, were captured before they reached safety.
