"I admire and I like the Greeks. I think we, as a country and as individuals, owe them a tremendous debt... We shall want the Greeks to admire and like us as English people and as individuals. We shall want the people at Achmetaga, and our friends in Athens to have reasons for being grateful to the English as good as our reasons for being grateful to them."

Francis Noel-Baker - Letter to his parents, 3rd December 1942
