In Edmonton today Seaman Frank Savage, who was a member of the crew of a British battleship during the evacuation of Crete, told the Canadian Press that many wounded Australians were unavoidably left behind in a hospital in Crete. “The Germans arrived in the town and shot everybody," he said. “I know, because four of our men dressed as Greek peasants returned to the town in an attempt to find an Australia brigadier. They reached the hospital and found everybody dead.” In Washington the commander of the cruiser H.M.S. Dido, Captain Me-, Call, in %n interview authorised by the British Embassy, said the cruiser sunk more than 40 German transports the size of tugs which were attempting to land in Crete. “It was a horrible but necessary job,” he said. “All the Germans were drowned.”
