Charlie Varsov of Detroit an american Soldier of greek descent in a ill of american cigarettes to a Creek Seaman when his destroyer was in the Harbor Here for repairs. A Rhoto Fly Sal. Gilbert Sweeney greeks still fight As of wounded sailors stories testify in North Africa. Both of them were greek they were in a British Hospital find not knowing where their ship was. They Felt pretty much like a couple of orphans. Then Providence in the form of an american army Corporal stepped in to bring the men and their ship together again. Cpl. Charles varos a a Charlie Quot to eve Ryone at the red Cross club where he now is on duty is from Detroit mich., but his parents were born in Greece. Charlie can switch from american to greek and Back again As easily and naturally As he can do away with a plate of ice Cream. The greek Consul Gustave Amarantinis told Charlie the two sailors were in the Hospital and asked him to visit them. Charlie found them Well cared for but homesick for someone who spoke their language they told him their Story. Only a Short time previously Charlie had visited a greek warship and he thought he knew where she was. Was a loud explosion was heard on one e boat and she subsequently Sank. Tin1 greek War vessel made a determined attempt to ram Hie second and Cut her in two. She succeeded in damaging this one severely. The third again launched torpedoes and the Cheek ship zigzagged and then attacked. Tile damaged e boat escaped and the single undamaged one took off for less dangerous places. Right guess in Brief. Charlie was right and seamen a. L. And s. S left the he Spital to rejoin their ship while still were wearing bandages. The ship is one of a number of Light greek naval units operating with the British Fleet. She is comparatively new but her Short life has been crowded with action on Convoy and patrol off the coast if West Africa she got one Axis submarine for certain and another  she did Convoy duty later in the Mediterranean. When the invasion of Sicily began she escorted Light Allied units in the Landing and was detailed to guard their rear. While doing this she shot Down an Axis bomber. She later was attacked by another enemy plane but by Clever mane vering she escaped and damage. A few hours after this action she halted to fish an american flying officer out of the water practically under the muzzles of enemy Shore batteries. The offi i Eros name 2nd it. Cd c. Paul is carried in a Book signed by visitors to Hie ship. Several Days later. The ship engaged three German be Quot boats comparable to our motor torpedo boats. The e boats launched three torpedoes and then fled under cover of a smoke screen wounded in action it was during this action that the two lads were wounded while serving one of the guns. A third j Man at the gun Anthony remained at his Post after he was struck in both legs and one Arm. He died of his wounds while still serving the piece. In the Cabin of the ships Captain commander John n. Toum i Bas two 20 Nim. Shell holes now Are numbered among souvenirs which include an autographed photograph of Hie Duchess of Kent formerly the greek Princess manna and his treasured visitors Book. Comdr. Toumbas has an Alert Youngish face und it r Iron Gray hair. Practically every Man on the ship has an adventure Story to Tell. A typical example is that of the second officer whose name May not be used. Eight months after the Axis occupation of Greece he escaped with seven other officers in a Small sail boat. They Laid a course by dead reckoning. On the Way they put ashore at an Island and picked up 80 men and women seeking also to Escaje get. Rough weal Lier swamped tile terribly overloaded Craft and 70 were lost i including two of the officers who i originally had embarked. The second officer managed to swim to the coast and subsequently joined up with greek naval forces. Charlie varos did not Stop by i bringing seamen a. L. And s. S. To their ship. He told the Story to miss Faye Smith West a director of the red Cross officers and nurses club. With miss Smith varos visited the ship and distributed american cigarettes and Candy to the Crew. Capt. Toumbas turned the event into a Celebration and if there Wasny to much work done for an hour or so there was a lot of greek and varying degrees of English flying about the ship.
