Re: Partisan (?) photographs - info on unit?
The Special Operations Executive certainly had some "interesting" interactions in the Balkans (and other places). Mad Jack Churchill is one to research if anyone is interested in British intervention in Yugoslavia.
It's nice to be able to find pictures and records of family members (and other service personnel) and be able to present them. This does make me feel a little old though as I have a funeral card here of my Great Grandfather who died of old age 9th January 1913 so he didn't quite have the chance to help partisans of any sort. The records of SOE's actions are pretty much well and truly open now but this is certainly not the case for all British exploits during the war with Germany, Japan, Italy, etc. I have a group to a BIGOT that can not be declassified for at least 2 more years but may continue to be classified after the 70 year period. Some very interesting things that it is as yet illegal to mention (although if the Germans don't know we're coming by now there must be a very serious problem). Now back to the topic of Partisans, does anyone know of British service personnel that were awarded with Partisan awards from either Yugoslavia or Albania? Or were we just too imperial for the communists we were assisting?
