Greeks Again Fighting Against Axis: For months a Greek Army, consisting of Greek soldiers who escaped at the time or after the Axis occupation, and of Greeks resident in the Middle East, has been training in Palestine. Recently units of this army moved into the front line in the Western Desert signalling the resumption of the fight against the Axis by pouring shells into the enemy troop-lines and doing great execution with knives and bayonets. A bullet-torn Greek National flag, a relic of the heroic stand put up by the Greeks in their ow n country, is the proud possession of the Greeks now in the Western Desert.
