The Greek quality newspaper called 'Kathimerini' published an excellent review of the diary. The diary is the first formal military journal to be published by an ordinary soldier in the 'demodic' ("the people's") Greek language. Prior to its publication all Greek military records were official Greek military publications and/or were written by commissioned officers in upper-class Greek, called 'katharevousa', which is difficult for most Greeks to read and understand. Photo-illustrated with photographs of the author in Korea and Japan, and on the way to and from Korea, also special events, and key officers. This is a detailed journal of an ordinary Greek soldier in the Korean War who was at Outpost Harry and a number of other battles and who was also on the front-line when cease-fire was implemented.
