Capt. Michael Efthyvoulos
British Army Cyprus Regiment
from:Nicosia, Cyprus
My grandfather, Captain Michael Efthyvoulos, served in WW I prior to his service in WW II. He rejoined the Cyprus Regiment with his two sons, Leonidas and Dimitri, at the outbreak of war.
Michael Efthyvoulos was captured in 1941 in Greece in the Peloponnese campaign.He was at HQ when the unit was over-run by the Germans and was captured returning from HQ to be with his men.
He spent time as a Prisoner of War at Stalag 4B and also I believe at Stalag 17. He also mentioned going to Colditz Castle.
