text: On Samos They’ll “Do or Die”, 11/15/1943. Middle East – Greek parachutists of the famous Sacred Brigade prepare to put their 2,000-year-old slogan, “Come Back Victorious or Dead”, into effect on Samos Island, as they board the R.A.F. transport which dropped them over the Dodecanese Island. The Greeks were trained as paratroopers following the Tunisian campaign.Credit (ACME radio photo);
