Mcc0031516 . Daily Telegraph..WWII veterans( left to right) Flt Lt Freddie Nicoll DFC, Peter Bickmore BEM, Reg Ellis and John Rivett who didn't serve on Vis, at a memorial service on the island of Vis, Croatia ...A reunion of British WW2 Veterans on the Croatian Island of Vis, probably for the last time. They are some of the last survivors of an Allied combined garrison of Royal Navy, Royal Marine Commandos, Army and Royal Air Force personnel who took over the Island in 1943 and held it until the end of the War. From here they harried Axis Forces in what was Yugoslavia, providing supply drops to the Partisans and, at one point, refuge for Marshall Tito when he was nearly captured by German Forces .
