The Battalion Officer in Charge continues talking about the force who moved to the north near Amindaion, with whom he stayed for the whole show over in Greece.
Their job was to assist in the defence of the Klidhi Pass in support of the British and Australian troops.
On the Wednesday preceding Good Friday it was reported that the Germans had broken through Yugoslavia and were moving South. On the evening of Wednesday 9 April the artillery gave tongue, and on Thursday the 10th, the Germans attacked.
Good Friday, 11 April, the Allied defences held on the pass, and Berlin Radio paid tribute to the accuracy of the New Zealand machine gunners.
More and more enemy troops poured in, and our lines were pushed back. Two machine gun sections withdrew to a commanding position over a small valley, and on the Saturday morning when the enemy broke through, they met the New Zealand machine guns. In front of one section lay two to three hundred dead and wounded enemy.
