Xenophon Castrisos (Castles), an aerial photographer with the Royal Australian Air Force, reads the Hellenic Herald, a Greek-Australian newspaper, during World War II.
Castrisos or Castrisios (Καστρίσιος in Greek) is a surname found on the island of Kythera, from which many impoverished locals immigrated to Australia in the 1920s and 1930s, looking for a better life.
Possibly Xenophon Castrisos is one of those Kytherians who found a new home in Australia and fought with his new fellow countrymen against the common foe, the Axis powers.
