AUSTRALIAN STATEMENT
MR FADDEN WARNS PEOPLE TO EXPECT CASUALTIES (United Press Association—Telegraph Copyright) (Rec. 11.55 p.m.) SYDNEY, April 29. “Many of our troops have now left Greece after stubbornly contesting the enemy’s advance, even to the last few inches of Greek soil.” This announcement was made by the Acting Prime Minister, Mr A. W. Fadden, after a meeting of the Federal War Cabinet in Sydney today.
“Unfortunately,” he added, “we cannot hope to avoid casualties and we must be prepared for them. The full story will be told as soon as possible. Until then I know this country will wait in courage and resolution.” Mr Fadden described the evacuation as “proceeding” and said the task entrusted to our forces had been carried out with great fidelity.
