Dr MARIA HILL is a military historian and an expert on the Greek and Crete campaigns. She has an Honours, Masters and PhD in History from the University of New South Wales. Maria is the first Australian historian of Greek descent to write about these campaigns, which has ensured that a Greek perspective has been included in a narrative that often ignores Australia’s Greek allies. Currently, she is Visiting Fellow at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra.

the Greek and Australian archives and original film footage - Audience comments and questions are welcomed
