Souda Bay War Cemetery

The Souda Bay War Cemetery is a military cemetery administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission at Souda Bay, Crete, Greece.

Among those buried there are: On 21 May 1941, when German troops took over Heraklion, Pendlebury slipped away with his Cretan friends heading for Krousonas, the village of Kapetanios Satanas, which was some 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the southwest.

Aristea Drossoulakis took him into her nearby cottage and he was laid on a bed.

The cottage was overrun and a German doctor treated him chivalrously, dressing his wounds; he was later given an injection.

[1] Staff Sergeant Dudley Perkins 1915 – 25 February 1944), also known as Kiwi Perkins, was a New Zealand soldier who fought in Greece during World War II and participated in the Cretan resistance.
