	ATHENS, Greece (UPI) -- Greek and foreign officials Sunday joined
survivors of the Sacred Regiment, a special commando unit formed 50
years ago in the Middle East to fight the Axis and to liberate Greece,
in a commemoration ceremony.
	The ceremony was held at the Monument of the Sacred Regiment, at Mars
Plains, (s.s: akou metafrasi tou Pediou tou Arews!!!) a garden in downtown
Athens, where Gen. Christodoulos Tsigantes, the regimental commander, is buried.
	Government, armed forces representatives and the military attaches of
the British and German Embassies laid wreaths at the monument.
	Among the surviving veterans present was Lord Jellicoe, who in 1943
as a young soldier was liaison officer to the regiment for the 8th
British Army.
	The Sacred Regiment first fought with the Free French Forces and the
New Zealand Division in Tunisia and, after the end of the African
Campaign, was moved to the Aegean Sea to conduct landing operations
aiming at the liberation of the Greek islands.
	The Sacred Regiment parachuted on the islands of Samos and Leros and
landed on most islands with German garrisons, liberating the Dodecannese
Islands.
	After World War II, Sacred Regiment members became the nucleus of the
U.S.-trained Greek Raiding Forces that distinguished themselves during
the Civil War of 1946-49.
