The 3rd Greek Mountain Brigade (Greek: 3η Ελληνική Ορεινή Ταξιαρχία, Triti Elliniki Οrini Τaxiarkhia, ΙΙΙ Ε.Ο.Τ.) was a unit of mountain infantry formed by the Greek government in exile in Egypt during World War II. It was formed from a few thousand politically reliable loyalists, and was briefly trained in Lebanon before being dispatched to Italy.[1] Commanded by Colonel Thrasyvoulos Tsakalotos,[1] it fought in the Battle of Rimini in Italy (under I Canadian Corps),[2] where it earned the honorific title "Rimini Brigade" (Ταξιαρχία Ρίμινι Τaxiarkhia Rimini).[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
