The SBS Raid on Rhodes - Operation Anglo | SBS in WW2

During WW2, the Italian and German Air force were wreaking havoc on the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean from their airfields on Rhodes. As a result, the SBS with help from Greek Guides, were tasked with raising the island and taking down the airfields.

So proud of my Grandfather, I never got to meet him but he was one of the raiders that were captured and taken to Italy. My mum said he would never talk about his experience so we have never known which airfield he went after.

Hello Ian. What was your grandafather's name? I can give you this information. Greeting from Rhodes!

[@silviapel]

We should be proud of them. My great-grandfather Pavlos Moustakellis and his brother Antonis Moustakellis guide David Sutherlands group through the mountains to Kalathos airport. As shepherds they knew the secret paths on the area.

My Grandfather was a gunner on a Tribal Class destroyer, after being trained as a Blue Jacket Commando he ended up joining the SBS around this time I believe.
I'm still trying to piece together his history as I grew up in the United States
