| - Welsh direct involvement in this war dates back to 1902 Treaty of St Davids, a defence treaty between Wales and the Greek Kingdom. Under the terms of this treaty, Wales was bound to come to the aid of Greece in times of war. During the 1914-18 European War this treaty was stretched as Wales officially refused to become involved in the conflicts. This became awkward when the British opened the Salonika Front against the wishes of the Greek King. With the war over and by means of a palace coup de tat a new king (Alexander), Iorwerth hoped to rebuild the ties between the countries. With Greek ambitions in Anatolia, Iorwerth authorised the sailing of the Welsh 3rd Fleet, the fleet contained both troop transports (containing Naval Marines and Army regular units) and ships converted into aircraft carriers (LPM Rhonabwy and LPM Macsen). With the death of Iorwerth and the ascension of Iago there was a period of doubt, would the new Welsh king continue to honour the old kings’ commitments?
