Noel Palmer continues talking about the New Zealand troops in action against the Germans in Greece.
Demolition by the engineers did much to hinder the Germans. When withdrawal became necessary, it was found that the enemy had penetrated to the road leading to Larissa so the troops struck off across country to Molos.
Another brigade covering the withdrawal of British and Australian units from the Florina Gap was attacked by armoured vehicles and a mechanised column on the North Side of the Aliakmon River.
Because of our bombardment of the Germans attempt to bridge the river, our positions were attacked by air all day without a spell. A Wellington Battalion killed 60 to 70, and took 120 prisoners from an enemy daylight patrol.
