The first action during the Second World War on Greek soil between the German and Hellenic forces was on the little village of Vevi in the municipality of Florina. After the Battle of Vevi, a small number of soldiers from the two Australian battalions that fought there, were reported missing in action and their bodies have never been found.


Tom Tsamouras, a school teacher from Newcastle and Peter Toyne, former MP from the NT, are two researches who have spent years trying to locate the resting place of these men.

Tom Tsamouras talks to Stergos Kastelloriou about his research.
