Ernest Chapman was an unknown soldier with the ill-fated British force sent to defend Greece agaunst the Nazi invasion, left stranded when the campaign ended. It was four years before he was able to leave, but by then he was a Greek legend- KIRIAKOS During those horrific years in the heart of enemy-occupied territory, Chapman made four desperate escapes from his captors, hoping to find a way home through Turkey. But treachery and bad luck led three times to recapture and the Gestapo. Undaunted, Chapman made his fourth and last escape . This time he made contact with Greek guerrillas and became one of their most daring fighters. It was 30 years before the man from Barnsley returned, to a hero's welcome.
