L^cretf A Tribute from New ZealancP Waiouru's Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum presents a special exhibition to jf mark the 50th anniversaiy of the fight to defend Crete against the German invasion. "The fight to hold Crete was the hardest and most savage campaign of the New Zealand Division in the Second World War. Fifty years after, we return to honour our dead. Their ^ deeds are not forgotten and we remember with gratitude the gallantry and self-sacrifice of ^ the Greek Nation and the people of Crete." The Right Honourable Jim Bolger, Prime Minister ofNeiv Zealand. In February 1941 the Greek Govemment accepted an offer from its British counterpart to send an expeditionary force to assist in the defence of the birthplace of democracy.
