The 5/42 Evzone Regiment () or 42nd Regiment (42° Σύνταγμα) was an elite regiment of Evzones of the Hellenic Army, recruited in Phthiotis, Central Greece and headquartered in Lamia. The unit was formed after the Balkan Wars, and served in the Entente intervention in the Russian Civil War, the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922 and the Greco-Italian War during World War II. In April 1944 the Regiment was attacked by ELAS (controlled by the Communist Party of Greece) and dissolved. After the battle troops of ELAS tortured and executed all the captives, including Psarros.[citation needed]
