Information on the Gorgopotanmos and Asopos operations was drawn from Lt-Col Edmonds' manuscript With the Greek Guerrillas 1942-1944. Edmonds' generous action of placing his manuscript at the disposal of War History Branch is gratefully acknowledged. The reports of the late Lt-Col C. E. Barnes on his special service work in Greece were used for material on the Gorgopotamos operation. Acknowledgments are also made to Mrs. D. Morton and to C. Mutch, R. A. Hooper, D. G. MacNab, J. A. Redpath and K. Simcock for letters and personal interviews.
