Greece has paid tribute to Private Robert Findlay Rixon, an Australian soldier who served in Greece during 1940–41, recognising his contribution to the Battle of Crete.
In a ceremony, Consul General of Greece in Sydney, George Skemperis, presented a commemorative medallion to Linda Williams, Private Rixon’s niece, on behalf of the Greek government.
Skemperis said he was “proud and grateful” to deliver the Medallion to Ms Williams, honouring the military service of her uncle during 1940–41 in Greece (Crete).
“Greece never forgets those who fought on its side,” he added.
