Greek Civil War

Following the Second World War, a communist rebellion broke out in the north of the Greek mainland. Britain, although opting not to become directly involved because of domestic political issues, sent His Majesty's Intelligence Corps to the Peloponnese to develop updated maps of the islands. The existing British maps had become outdated following the British withdrawal in 1941 and they did not wan the communists to be able to take advantage of this. (PROSE: )
