New Battle of Crete memorial unveiled
A new war memorial commemorating the Second World War Battle of Crete was unveiled in Perth’s King Park.
The memorial honours the almost 800 Australians who were killed or wounded and more than 3,000 who were captured defending the Greek island, which German forces invaded in a massive parachute assault in May 1941.
