    Does anyone know what uniform the young Greek women are wearing. What group were they part of?
    Also, am I right in thinking the officer on the left is Italian?

    regards

    Brilliant! Thank you, Gus, for your initiative and speedy response. My mother is the woman on the left of the front rank as we see it.

    No problems Alec. Glad I could help. The chaps in Athens think it might be national day parade on 25 March 1941.

    That's helpful. Thank you. I've been writing my father's story for a while and, of course, my mother features in it quite a lot [!]. I have tried to include some of her extraordinary background and that was one of the remaining details I needed to clear up. I think I can put it to bed soon.
