My fathers Early Life Events and work history:

This is a summary of events included specific first hand information from my father Peter Pappas concerning the tragic effects and events of World War II on his Birth Island of Kastellorizo Greece in the Mediterranean.

Chronology of events
- 1917 Father was born on the island Jan 29th His mother died during childbirth and his father shortly after. He was one of 6 sons and now a orphan.
- 1921 Island occupied by Italy
- 1941 British assault on island
- 1943, Sept 8th Italy surrendered to the Allies
- 1943, Sept 10th British troops seized island
- 1943, Sept 17th Germans began air raids and started to gain control of islands one by one.
- 1943, Oct. German bombs rained on Island. This caused English to evacuate the islands. evacuated until only a hand full of Islands still under British control. Kastellorizo was one of them.
- 1943, Oct 17th & 18th. Severe Aerial bombardments and an increase of fighting for Islands by the Germans. Fighting severe on 20th and the British decided to evacuate the entire population of the islands to the Middle East.
- 1943, Oct 23rd & 26th. Approx. 1000 civilians were evacuated to Cyprus. Dad was included.
- 1943, Nov 20th.The Germans had regained control of every single island except Kasterllorizo
- 1943, Nov 27th. British evacuated their garrison leaving only 50 men for deception purposes and possible future operations. The island remained in British control as the Germans decided not to mount a navel offensive. During this time the looting of the island by the British and Indian troops was extensive. Anything left was stolen or destroyed.
- 1944, Jan 4th. Civilians transferred to United Nations Relief & Rehabilitation Camps at Atlee, one hour drive from Gaza in Palestine. were there to remain until Sept 1945 with 14,000 other refugees from the Dodecanese islands of Samos etc. Dad included. Dad said many Jewish arrived daily and were added to the camps.
- 1944, . A severe fire broke out in town and an ammunition dump exploded. The fire and explosion resulted in the destruction of 1/3 of town. The islands homes were reduced to ½ of the previous amount prior to the British seizure of island.
- 1945, May. Germans surrendered and the end of the World War II. The British began preparation to return the Kastellorizians to their home.
- 1945, Sept 29th. One of three ships a British Vessel Empire Patrol formerly a Italian ship taken during surrender of Italy was used to transport the refugees back to their island. The ship caught on fire during the trip and went down in the open sea. This was categorized as The Empire Patrol Disaster of 1945, (Dad was 28 yr. Old). Dads Godmother, Sister-in-law and many friends were on board. My fathers Sister-in-law (Christina Papoutsi) was a critical part of the mystery of how the fire on board was started. The fire was believed to be started by a primus stove illegal used to warm milk. The fire started in the shared cabin of Christina. A total of 35 lives were lost of which 33 were Kasellorizo refugees. Of the lost lives 14 were eight years old or less. Many others were elderly women.
- 1945, Oct. the accident refugees were taken to El-Shatt in Palestine for rest and rehabilitation. Many never returned to the Island and migrated to other countries. This
event contributed to the large migration of over 80% of Kastellorizians to Australia.

Lived for two years in a refugee camp in Nuseirat, in Gaza.

Upon arrival all refugees were given numbered tags to wear around their neck.

Camps in Gaza consisted of tin roofed huts and canvas tents. The camp was divided into four sections and separated by miles of sand dunes. Three or four families lived in each hut and were segregated by blanket partitions. used communal kitchens to cook their food and had a school, church and small hospital.

Refugees quickly adjusted to camp life and created make shift canteens, coffee shops, cinemas and work places. Even a garment factory was produced with British support of sewing machines.

Dad worked in the kitchen and when the War ended he was still needed to work the kitchen until all of the refugees were relocated. The British placed him on the last ship back to the island.
